Theme for December: A River of Light

The month of December, with the shortest days of the year in our hemisphere, is a time to focus on bringing light into the dark places of our lives. Mindfulness can be seen as cultivating the light of awareness rather than suppressing or hiding from painful truths.

By paying gentle attention, we begin to develop insights into skillful/wise responses to the external pressures of our lives. We also face our internal dark moods, as if with the light of a candle, opening up to the possibility of transforming our fears and anxieties into blessings and prayers. Join us in the practice of gratitude, blessings, warming the heart, and the generative gift of communal silence.
