Peace in the Storm call in Meditation Mon @ 4:30PM
Dear Ones
Sending love and peace to all Green Island Sangha members as the storm approaches.
So today we are happy to offer another
Peace in the Storm conference call meditation at 4:30 PM.
The conference call number is 218-632-0550
access code 180173#
Please note that area code 218 is Minnesota.
Please join us for some peace together in the storm.
If you cannot join us by phone breathe with us as we calm our inner storms and inner stories and be peace and be safe.
If anyone needs support or help or a place to stay there are sangha members offering support so please reach out.
I know our sisters and brothers to the south are already in the storm...we send our love. Sunday morning our sangha decided not to meet in person as many sangha members needed to either continue to prepare for the storm or evacuate but we did very much still want to practice together especially in light of what was unfolding. So instead we met by free conference call and our facilitator Veronica offered us a deep relaxation and 2 songs from A Basket of Plums (An Island to Myself & And When I Rise) There were about 8 of us on the call and we came from all coasts of Long Island from Great Neck, Sea Cliff, Bayville, Greenport on the North Shore/Long Island Sound, to Riverhead on Peconic Bay to Bayport, Freeport and Long Beach on the South Shore/ Atlantic Ocean. Most of these areas are now flooding or near flooding. Most of us are in a flood zone or evacuation area so there is a lot of hurry and worry energy all around. It was wonderful practicing being peace within as the storm is approaching and feeling others around us racing intensely. For one hour we offered each other support to stop, breathe, rest, relax and be peace within as Sandy was/is approaching. We did this along with after the sit, checking in with those sangha members living on canals or in flood areas and offering support and refuge at other sangha members homes for those needing to evacuate.
For now, I offer 2 storm practices sent by another GISer Candie for us all. A short video from the recent Creative Arts Retreat at Blue Cliff http://vimeo.com/51727799 And an Interbeing practice for our Tree Family below ...if it does not copy see http://www.thetreewhisperer.com/ for a Tree Meditation for Hurricane Sandy.
Hope to "see" you on the conference call today.
Breathing and sending love and may all be safe

A Day for Families and Children Celebrating the Two Promises:
Cultivating Understanding & Compassion
Juice, tea and snacks provided. Please bring a vegetarian lunch for your family.
The day’s program will combine mindfulness activities for families , as well as meditation, teachings, discussion for parents/adults with a fun filled creative program for children and teens.
This will be an opportunity for parents and children to learn basic life skills not taught in schools, such as:
• how to breathe and be centered
• find nourishment in the beauty and simplicity of life
• embrace anger and other strong emotions with acceptance, calm, and ease
• learn from our four legged friends in an nearby meadow…horse & dog activities by the Kaeli Kramer Foundation
• have lots of fun!

Mindfulness Practice as a Base for Sustainable & Regenerative Living:
Breathing with the Earth
Tea provided. Please bring a vegetarian lunch for yourself.
This one day retreat will offer us the opportunity to train in mindfulness, to rest in our breathing, and to connect with our vast and wonderful Dharma body – the body of the Earth and Cosmos.
Many of us are overwhelmed by the scale and scope of the suffering we see in the world and in our lives. We cannot see how our efforts will make a difference. Burdened by frustration and helplessness, we are unable to maintain our own happiness, and as we sink in anger and despair, our capacity to do good work is diminished. Mindfulness practice can change all of this. Mindfulness practice brings emphasis to the personal, spiritual and social dimensions of sustainability. It enables us to enter into a direct and clear relationship with reality, with ourselves, our loved ones, and our work and learn to draw nourishment from the positive conditions that are present in the here and now.
Dharmateachers Fern Dorresteyn and Michael Ciborski and members of MorningSun Mindfulness Community in New Hampshire. Fern and Michael are beloved friends and teachers, who met as Waldorf students, lived as Buddhist monk and nun for 7 years with Dhyana Master Thich Nhat Hanh in Plum Village, France and trained and worked intimately with Thich Nhat Hanh and the monastic community to organize, support, and offer meditation retreats around the world. In 2003, Michael and Fern departed Plum Village and returned to lay life. Now married, with three children, they have founded MorningSun, a spiritual community and education center based on the practice of mindfulness.
