More big changes at ILLIO! Now that Jesse Hemminger has purchased the ILLIO building, the other side has opened up. Ecoflora, the awesome organic flower shop, has moved in <www.ecofloradesign.com>
and Heidi and Heidi have their own space for their awesome costumes and
puppets. Beaker Prince has gone back to her fall schedule and won't be
offering Alexander Practice at ILLIO anymore. Check out her classes

For
me, the last few months would have been impossible without the real
sangha-jewel that surrounds me. A sangha is a community of kindness and
friendship. It is hardly possible to make it through hardship and find
our own deepest selves without this. According to the Sambodhi Sutta (AN
9.1), the Buddha advised his students, "admirable people as friends,
companions, and colleagues ...is the first prerequisite for the
development of the wings to self-awakening."
Even if we find great realization on our own, the effect on the world is minimal if we do not express our realization among others. Truly, cultivating our own awakening is not separate from cultivating the awakening of those around us.
One of the central tasks of a supportive community is to looking and seeing who we each truly are. A supportive community keeps us from being lost in our deluded perceptions of ourself. At the same time, we must practice giving our selves over to our community, taking our guard down, and - as much as possible - being authentic even though we may be afraid of their judgment.
While there are many places where we can improve, a true friend knows these flaws are not the whole of our being. She can remind us of our own best qualities and our own deepest aspirations, and we do our best to do the same for her.
Those who are free and feel they would benefit, let's sit in silence together allowing our thoughts to rest so we can cultivate deep listening and non-judement, in order to melt into something greater than ourselves.
*As we have in the past, we will sit for two 20/25 minute silent sessions with quiet walking in between. We will have time for every participant to talk before and after. Those new to meditation are welcome to join and participate as much as they feel comfortable. If you've never sat in silence in community before, come on time and ask questions.

Wrest and unnamed happening
Wrest
This trio plays acoustic, fully-improvised music on sax, upright bass, and percussion. The mood can range from a brash, barely-controlled chaos to very delicate. I'd say we try to avoid musical conventions, including the things we've done before as a group. Trying to become aware of our unconscious notions about what's good or bad in music, and allowing those notions to be upset. Creating an intensely vulnerable moment that makes possible a strong connection to each other and the audience, and also makes possible a total failure to achieve whatever it was we wanted. This show in Columbus will be towards the end of our third tour as a trio.
Jack Wright (saxes, from Easton, PA)
Evan Lipson (upright bass, from Chattanooga, TN)
Ben Bennett (percussion, from Columbus, OH)
