Solstice Celebration with Jane Rauenhorst this Sunday at Minneapolis Insight

Dear Community,

Sunday 10am Community Practice & Discussion

This Sunday you are invited to a Solstice celebration.  

Humans, even before there was written history, have gathered in myriad ways to celebrate the Solstice.  Granted, the Solstice is not a Buddhist celebration, but there are ways in which the importance of acknowledging the Solstice is kin to many of the core aspects of our Buddhist practice.  For instance, consciously taking time to pause to be aware of impermanence, appreciating our connection to nature and the world around us, and the importance of gathering together to acknowledge our shared experience.  All of these are values and practices held within the Dharma and integral to celebrating the Solstice.  

Celebrating the Solstice, like our Dharma practice, offers us time to pause and reflect, not so much in an effort to “find the answers”, but rather to create space in which we may sustain our presence, opening to our life as it is and aspiring to remain compassionate and loving in the middle of life’s uncertainty.

Please join us this Sunday as the Solstice invites us to pause for reflection, to celebrate the days getting longer, and the joy of being in community.  We'll have time for practice, reflection, and community discussion. You can find registration and Zoom info here.

With mettā,
Minneapolis Insight
