It's almost that time.

The beginning of summer brings us to our last meditation session before the summer break: Monday, June 29th at 7:30pm.

Please come and sit and celebrate! Josee Cloutier will be leading the final session, and she may have a surprise discussion for us after the session.

As you may have heard, the lease on Jody Manley's studio that we rent from at Creative Crossing will be ending at the end of June, so the North End Meditation Space will be taking a pause for the summer as of July 1st.

As part of the Halifax Shambhala Centre's revisioning process, we might rethink how NEMS can be useful going forward in the fall; perhaps we can find a new space, or maybe we will be cushions on wheels, or maybe we can partner with some local groups like the North Branch Library! Thank you so much to all of you who have been helping to make Halifax's first satellite a wonderful success! Especially thanks to the many volunteers and MI's who gave their time and energy.

Daily meditation will continue at the Halifax Shambhala Centre, and feel free to self-organize and meditate together whenever you like. May all feel engaged socially, spiritually, physically, psychologically, and emotionally. You are breathing. You are being.

2:45 pm ... the cushions are taking a rest.
