The Mindfulness Bell

In the Current Issue

autumn 2018

Guest edited by David Viafora, an Order of Interbeing member and part of the Mindfulness Bell caretaking council, this issue is infused with reflections about nourishing our Sangha.

• In “Practicing Mindful Consumption Together,” Thich Nhat Hanh focuses on young people’s practice, mindful journalism, and nourishing our joy and happiness.

• UK Dharma teacher Vari McLuskie offers insights about sangha building.

• Practitioners tell us about listening deeply to their community, starting Sanghas (such as in Washington), spreading the Dharma beyond the Sangha, and dealing with difficulties in a Sangha.

• International practitioners share about building a community in Florida, living in a community in Italy, practicing in a pop-up mindfulness hub in England, taking refuge in online Sanghas (such as Plumline and WhatsApp), and connecting through music.

• Practitioners reveal heartfelt insights on the connection between Wake Up practitioners and all-ages practitioners and the history of School of Youth and Social Service.

• Parents reflect on their stronger bonds with their children thanks to their practice.
