Free Online Mindfulness Course For Grades 6-12
Hello everyone,
I hope you are all doing well! I founded a business called Summit Mindfulness, and so far, I have been working exclusively with middle school and high school kids. I am using (with permission) Dr. Amy Saltzman’s book, A Still Quiet Place, as a basis for my completely online curriculum, which helps kids ease stress, anxiety, and difficult emotions. Due to the challenges we are facing, I have decided to offer my 8-week course free of charge to the first 10 kids who are interested. If you know any parents who would be interested in enrolling their middle school or high school children, please ask them to contact me at ravh@.... If they would like to learn more about me and how I help, here is my website.
Gassho,
Rob

Dear group,
Somehow we're not able to access the benefits of this .io server. How do we see the shared files? Is it because this server is running through our Outlook mail?

Thanks, Fred.? I'd been doing one each week for a while then took a brief hiatus but an now back to it.? I find collaging a good way to counter pre-conceived directions for an artwork.? I just assemble a bunch of images from the Sunday NY Times when we're finished reading it and then play with various ways of juxtaposing and positioning until I find one that I like.

Dear Sangha,Over the last week I have felt such deep gratitude for you all. I have said to many friends that it is my practice and my sangha who are going to keep me sane during the weeks and months ahead.?To the teachers, thank you for hosting check in discussions. Thank you, Ken, for your powerful teisho about the role of karma in our lives. Thank you, Karin, for your email about Vimalakirti, and thank you to Peggy for your continued role as teacher and mentor.In difficult times I turn to poetry to help me feel less isolated, and today I found myself reading the poetry of Amy Lowell. Her poem "September, 1918" encapsulates where I am right now, and where I imagine so many of you find yourselves.?
September, 1918
This afternoon was the colour of water falling through sunlight;
The trees glittered with the tumbling of leaves;
The sidewalks shone like alleys of dropped maple leaves,
And the houses ran along them laughing out of square, open windows.
Under a tree in the park,
Two little boys, lying flat on their faces,
Were carefully gathering red berries
To put in a pasteboard box.
Some day there will be no war,
Then I shall take out this afternoon
And turn it in my fingers,
And remark the sweet taste of it upon my palate,
And note the crisp variety of its flights of leaves.
To-day I can only gather it
And put it into my lunch-box,
For I have time for nothing
But the endeavour to balance myself
Upon a broken world.
