Rainy Season ideas for Saturdays

Saturday events - some ideas to think about:

Start the day with a Puja at 10am

 There are books full of interesting pujas you can borrow and join with others to lead a puja. 

Meditate! 

Go for a walk - see suggestions below.

Tea ceremony

Read poetry together

Visit an Art Museum, or do some art together

Padmatara and Danadasa,

 

From Zachi: One of the ways I like to practice is to go out to nature. It's always a very grounding experience. If relevant, I can share ways I find nature and calmness within an urban setting. For example, below are two routes we often do, that can be accommodated to be anywhere from 2 Miles flat-path, to a more invigorating 3 (or more) Miles, with some uphills, and anything in between.  I chose the below two routes b/c they start and end in an easy/accessible location, and have bathrooms, and food at the end. Maybe we can do it as a group walk, where people have the option to walk in silent, walk and chat, and then we can have some light Yoga/Tai-Chi/Meditation at some point if people would like that.

There are many more routes, some are much closer to the center, if we so desired.
