In-Person: Summer Sunday Sangha
with Angela Dews and Felicia Dickerson
Sunday, July 14th, 2024 | 10:00am – 12:00pm ET
Location: Central Park, Great Hill. Meeting point is Park Entrance on Central Park West and 100th street at 9:45AM
Connect with your meditation community in parks across the boroughs this summer! We will meditate, meet, and then celebrate with an optional BYO picnic.
This Manhattan gathering is the first of three outdoor, community events to celebrate the diversity of NYIMC’s community throughout New York City. Join us this summer to meditate outside and to meet your NYIMC sangha across the boroughs.
New York Insight Teacher Angela Dews and Harlem and POC Sangha Practice Leader Felicia Dickerson, along with NYI’s Friends Leadership Council, join together to offer a morning meditation in the park, as well as the opportunity to engage in community activities and enjoy social time in our city’s beautiful Central Park.
Beginning at 10:00am, we will meditate together in nature, then move into interactive activities to engage with new and old sangha friends. The event will end at 12:00pm, when you’re welcome to join our BYO Picnic. Feel free to bring your own meal or something refreshing to share.
We encourage you to bring a blanket, chair, or whatever you may need to support your practice in an outdoor setting.
All are welcome to join this event, whether you’re a longtime community member and practitioner or brand new to meditation and New York Insight. We are looking forward to seeing you this summer. And look out for our next Summer Sangha Sunday this August in Astoria Park!
