Candlelight Meditation & Wisdom talk with Monks
🧘🏻♂️🧘🏽♀️Sunset Meditation and wisdom talk from Buddhist monks under the stars in a sea of candlelight after enjoying guided mindful movement and soothing live handpan music.
Doors will be opening at 6:30 for this magical evening & will start off at 7:00pm with some relaxing music and refreshments as everyone arrives at Happier Cafe. Once everyone finds their seats, we will begin a gentle guided mindful movement and stretching to the soothing sounds of a handpan.
After this, two American Buddhist monks from Thailand will take the stage to share tips about the practice before guiding us in a candlelit meditation as the sun sets. The formal session will end with some final words from Scotty and the monks, but the evening will not be over yet!
From around 8:30 - 9:00PM+ we wanted to provide some space for you all to connect with each other after this magical experience and feel the warmth of this Tadaa community we have built together. Chit chat with the monks, with Scotty, and each other over warm drinks and snacks. The kind individuals at the monks’ temple will make some goodies for us, but if you would like to also bring some snacks, please make a comment on this partiful event page sharing what you will bring to share with others.
Suggestion: create a little sign of ingredients to stick to the container of any ambiguous, homemade goods to help guide those with dietary restrictions :) The power of LA’s generosity has been on full display lately, and we’d like to create this space for everyone to give and receive while connecting with each other in such a unique context.
Suggested dress code: out of consideration of the monk’s lifestyle, we ask that you dress in tops that are not too revealing of the chest and shorts/pants that are not too tight or revealing. Loose fitting, modest attire is most suitable. Thanks in advance! P.S. - it will likely be chilly once the sun sets, so bring warm clothes & personal blankets to stay warm! We will be sitting in chairs for this event.
This event is free and open to people of all ages and backgrounds. Donations, although not mandatory, are greatly appreciated and will enable us to offer such beautiful free events into the future.
