What a winter! Warm up with other sangha members by coming to sit together this month, either in person or on Zoom. A reminder that all sittings are zoomed and here’s the link in case you don’t have it:

It’s hard to leave our warm homes, but joining together when we can brave the snow and cold is a great antidote to the cabin fever, loneliness, and isolation that can set in during a winter like this. When we look at the giant icicles hanging from our roofs and gutters, we notice that even the smallest amount of sunshine has them starting to melt, bit by bit. Our practice too is like this, imperceptibly melting ego, delusions, and attachments, moment by moment, as we turn on the heat of our sitting, our questioning, our breath practice.
