Drop-in Class ONLINE

Hugh Byrne

ET/U.S. and Canada, Sundays at Iona Senior Services (ISS) (4125 Albemarle Street NW, Washington, DC, 20016) (Map It)

As a precautionary measure in response to coronavirus in our region, we will be holding this class online via video conference until further notice. We hope to see you there!

The weekly Sunday morning (10:30 a.m. to 12 noon) class begins with a welcome, short reflection on an aspect of the teachings, and includes an arriving meditation (15 minutes) that will often incorporate poems and may end with a reflection or question.

The opening meditation is followed by sharing in pairs or small groups (for example, what is alive for them right now or what their intention is for the class or the day). The sharing has been a powerful support to help welcome new people, get to know each other, and build community/sangha.

Following a brief period of mindful stretching/movement, we finish with a longer meditation (25-30 minutes) and final reflections on the teachings, sharing, Q&A, and announcements. No registration is necessary.

What is Dana?

General info, post-pandemic

IMCW’s Sunday morning meditation class—led by Hugh Byrne and guest teachers—has outgrown its space at the Center for Mindful Living (CML) in Tenleytown and has moved three blocks away to 4125 Albermarle Street, NW, (Iona Senior Services (ISS)). Though moving from CML, the class will continue to be very much part of the CML community.

Class participants are welcome to stay and engage with other members of the community or adjourn to a neighboring restaurant or coffee shop.

Chairs are provided. There is ample room to sit on the floor and class participants are welcome to bring their own cushion, bench, or blanket. The class is for all levels of practice—from those coming to a class or sitting for the first time to others who have practiced for decades.

This space is inclusive, everyone is welcome, and we invite you to bring with you all aspects of yourself. Iona Senior Services is fully accessible to persons with limited mobility. For accessibility inquiries about the ISS facility, please click on "Contact Us", below.

Parking

ISS has limited free parking in their underground garage, entrance located on 42nd Street NW. Street parking is also available.

Metro/Bus

Iona Senior Service’s main building is metro and bus accessible. They are located just around the corner from the Tenleytown Metro Station on the Red Line.
