Wake Up Sangha - Meditation and Dharma Sharing
Our
Wake Up Sangha (community) meetings involve sitting meditation, walking
meditation, a reading, and sharing from the heart. This month we’ll
remember the year gone, and set intentions for the New Year, with a
simple candle lighting ceremony led by Clair W.
We usually sit on the floor, but chairs also available. No meditation experience required.
*Note:
While we’ve limited our previous Sangha meeting to the younger
demographic, meetings in the new year are open to all ages (kids too, as
long as they're old enough to sit reasonably still). Young adults have
particular needs and sometimes have difficulty finding peer community in
mindfulness practice. Still, inclusiveness is paramount, so we've
decided to invite everyone while keeping the group young-adult led
(18-35).

Basic Web Site Design with CSS3
Fuse Factory workshop (Basic Web Design Series)
Instructor: Paul DehnbostelWorkshop fee: $35
Our second class in the series covers the basics of CSS 3, a powerful language used to create layout and design for web pages. Without CSS, the web would not be nearly as pretty! Best of all, CSS is easy to learn and was designed so that everyone – even non-programmers – can do it. No fancy programs are needed, just Notepad and a web browser. This workshop is designed to be a hands-on experience for beginners with some previous HTML experience (like our HTML 5 Fundamentals workshop). In addition to discussing what CSS is and how it works, we will cover topics such as font and color changes, and the box model. This workshop is BYOL (Bring Your Own Laptop).

Wake Up - Day of Service - MLK Day
This
month, Wake Up Sangha will take advantage of the holiday to do a simple
service activity. We’ll be making blankets with kits from My Very Own
Blanket, an organization “Dedicated to helping children in foster care
feel valued and comforted.” We’ll share some food and some mindfulness
energy working with our hands to give an object of warmth to another,
and warming ourselves in the process. Feel free to bring a snack and $15
for a blanket kit, or just come and lend a hand! (all ages, including
kids)
