“The space at RIM has benefited me, my closest family members and friends. The teachings have helped me to both get through tough times and appreciate the beauty that is always around me.”
Long before it became a nonprofit in 2016, Rooted In Mindfulness was a community gathering week after week to learn and practice together. This December, we mark ten years as a nonprofit dharma center.
Over these years, many have found friendship here, and support to meet the hardest moments of their lives and enjoy their lives more fully. It's something we keep creating together, for the benefit of ourselves, those we care about, and our shared world.
On Saturday, December 5, come celebrate with us. We'll honor the shared practice and countless acts of kindness that made RIM what it is, and look ahead together. Whether you sit with us every week or it's been a while, this day is for you.
Everyone who has come through RIM's doors helped shape it, whether you came once, joined a workshop, or have practiced with us since before 2016. What we've learned together is shaping RIM's next chapter. At the gathering, Jesse and the volunteers working on it will share where RIM is headed: new ways to support learning, practice and connection for our whole sangha. A new website will follow soon after.
The drop-in and celebration are at RIM and on Zoom, 9:30 to 11:30 am.
RIM's teachings are freely offered, held up by the generosity of the people who practice here, a practice traditionally called dana. This celebration is RIM's one fundraising event of the year. Every gift, whatever its size, helps keep RIM's doors open, for you and for those still finding their way here.
If giving isn't possible this year, please come as you are. Your presence is a gift to this community. We hope to see you there.
We're excited to celebrate this day with you.
