Exploring the Basic Space of Awareness We invite you to join us for a series of guided meditations and dharma discussions led by Angela Sumegi. In general, we spend a lot of time and energy on choosing the clothes we wear, the food we eat, the things that surround us – it all expresses the person we are or want to be and the person we want the world to see. This is the art of curating, of sifting through and selecting some things while leaving others aside. Join us to explore how to apply this very important skill to the chaotic contents of our minds; and to examine the profound relationship between mind, life, and meditation.
