Four Sundays: Exploring the Deep Roots of Kindness

You are here: Home / Community / Four Sundays: Exploring the Deep Roots of Kindness

By Betsy Toll

Four Sunday Gatherings:
Exploring the Deep Roots of Kindness 
Sept. 25 thru October 16, 4–6 pm
In SE Portland: 2 meetings at Portland Insight Meditation Community, 2 at the Quaker Meeting House. See dates below.

In a world that seems to be breaking apart, practices to cultivate kindness and compassion bring  stability, nourish our hearts, and build resilience. We’ll chant, sit, view video clips from Love Serve Remember’s powerful Foundations of Kindness course and share our own responses.

There is no charge, all are welcome. RSVPs are helpful, but drop-ins are fine. Simple donations are appreciated but not required.

* Sept. 25 and Oct. 2, 4 to 6 pm 
At Portland Insight Meditation Community, 6536 SE Duke
CORRECTION:  Enter through gate on SE 66th, the east side of the building — to the left of the main front door, as you approach. 
 
* Oct. 9 and 16, 4 to 6 pm
At Friends Meeting House, 4312 SE Stark 
Enter the front foyer and bear slightly left to Room 12. 

We’ll settle in, chant a bit, sit quietly for 10 or 15 minutes, and watch teachings from Ram Dass, Jack Kornfield, Sharon Salzburg, Spring Washam, Joseph Goldstein, and Roshi Joan Halifax. These highly regarded teachers of Buddhism are some of Ram Dass’s dearest long-time friends on the dharma trail.

Raghu Marcus of Love Serve Remember will facilitate the online programs. See RamDass.org/kindness/#teacher for details and to register for their course. These afternoons will offer an opportunity to connect live with others and reflect on the teachings together.

Our gatherings will be shaped by Ram Dass’s retreats and teachings on meditation, service, and social action over more than 50 years, but will not include registration for the full content of LSR’s 4-week program.  

Both PIMC and the Friends Meeting House have street parking and are fully mobility accessible. Sessions at the Quaker Meeting House will include tea and light nibbles.
