Members of the *Broward Lotus Sangha* and the *Lotus Institute for Mindful
Living* will be leading us in a *MINDFUL DRUMMING *with sacred sounds, songs
and chants from many of the World’s Spiritual Traditions to nurture and
project our heart’s natural state of Joy, Happiness, and Bliss to all
beings.



Practicing simple body awareness and being in the present moment, we
remember our True Nature.  Resonating with the vibration of sound and loving
intention, we cultivate the energy of *peace (shanti), loving kindness
(metta/maitri), compassion (karuna), joy (mudita), happiness (sukha),
equanimity (upekkha/upeksha), and generosity (dana)*, within & without, for
the benefit of all beings.



Afterwards, you are invited to stay for the tea & treats portion of our
gathering.* *



   - *Voices, Drums, and Percussion Instruments welcome*
   - *Any other musical instruments you play such as flute and guitar also
   welcome *

   in. We begin promptly at 6:30PM*

Feel free to

   - *Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothes*
   - *Bring any offerings you may wish to share such as healthy finger
   foods, fruits, or treats. Tea and some snacks will be provided. And…*
