Драла Подія: Blueberry Pick, Meditation and Social

Субота, August 3rd, 2024  

10:00 AM – 1:30 PM

Join us for a “Blue-Tongue” Drala Meditation & Social where we will quiet the mind in order to open ourselves to the wisdom of nature and the drala energies of the Pacific Northwest. We practice in noble silence while contemplatively attuning and engaging the senses in the phenomenal world around us.

We’ll meet at a privately owned home with a small blueberry farm about 30 minutes outside of Portland in Ridgefield, WA, at the home of Portland Shambhala member Robert Lovitt/Heather Gordon for a “mindful u-pick-it”.

We will combine the practice of drala meditation with the joy of picking ripe blueberries. After arrival and settling in, we’ll begin with a meditation on the patio. Then we’ll walk the rows of blueberries while observing noble silence. Buckets with neck straps will be provided. As the gong sounds, we pause our berry-picking and transition into a moment of stillness – just listen, or just smell, or just look.

Afterwards we’ll head to the patio and have lunch together. Bring your own sandwich or lunch snack(с) – and maybe a bit to share if you feel like it. Some cold beverages will be available.

“Розслаблюючи розум, ви можете відновити зв’язок із тим споконвічним, вихідний грунт, який абсолютно чистий і простий. З того, за допомогою вашого сприйняття, ви можете відкрити магію, або драла.”   ~Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche
