Two Sundays: The Deep Roots of Kindness

You are here: Home / Events / Two Sundays: The Deep Roots of Kindness

By Betsy Toll

Two Sunday Gatherings:
The Deep Roots of Kindness 

October 9 & 16, 4:00–6:00 pm
Quaker Meeting House, 4312 SE Stark, PDX

Open to all, no charge. The Meeting House is fully mobility accessible, with street and neighborhood parking and bike racks in front. A few flowers or sweets are welcome, if you feel inclined, and program donations are welcome, but optional.

In a world that seems to be breaking apart, we’ll explore wisdom practices of compassion, cultivating  the stability, resilience, and courage we need to be of service in a troubled time. These qualities are the antidote to fear and alienation. Being in community refreshes our intention and sense of belonging, while simple practices nourish our hearts and change how we navigate engagement and responsibility, reminding us that we all are treasures, and we all can serve, here and now.

* 2 Sundays: Oct. 9 & 16, 4:00 to 6:00 pm

At Friends Meeting House, 4312 SE Stark, Portland 
In the front foyer, bear slightly left to Room 12. 
Tea and sweet and savory nibbles will be offered. Feel free to bring a few flowers for our small altar.

Ram Dass, Maui circa 2015These afternoons will resemble Living Earth’s Open Door dharma gatherings  and lovingkindness retreats. We’ll settle in, chant, sit, reflect on teachings from Ram Dass and other teachers speaking to the theme of kindness

Living Earth’s gatherings have their own fluid shape, but they carry a hint of Ram Dass’s many retreats and satsang teachings over the years on meditation, compassion, service, and social action. 

For a more extended look at this subject, be sure to check out Love Serve Remember’s current course, Foundations of Kindness.
