Global "Occupy" Meditation Event Dec 3—Help Plan Bay Area Events!

[Dawn Haney]

Hi friends -

In light of the many transformative consciousness events occurring at various Occupy sites, The Interdependence Project and the Buddhist Peace Fellowship have teamed up to propose a large scale meditation "action" connected to the Occupy demonstrations for Saturday December 3rd, 2011.  Communities around the globe will be planning Meditation, Yoga, Transformative Prayer and Wellness activities to foster mindfulness, groundedness, and loving presence at Occupy sites. Details are still being worked out, but there will be a suggested collective event for Occupy sites to participate in together, a written statement, and open space for folks to lead other transformative activities.

Here locally, we'd like to have a conversation about what a December 3rd day of events might look like at Occupy Oakland and other Bay Area Occupy sites. We're hosting a planning meeting on Tuesday, November 29 at 7pm at 2143 Blake Street in Berkeley. Each of you have already been involved in great ways at bringing a transformative presence to Bay Area Occupy sites - we're excited to see what kind of day we can put together with our joint efforts.

If you're interested in helping to plan and organize, please attend the meeting on November 29. You can also share your ideas over email. If you can't attend the planning meeting but are interested in participating on December 3rd, we'll send a second email to keep you in the loop once events are scheduled!

Looking forward to planning this day with you!
