Please consider contributing to the November 9th meal Vermont Insight is putting together for the Groundworks shelter! Our meal team is in need of additional volunteers for next month's meal, and your contribution would be very meaningful.

How it works:
- Sign up to contribute one or more items on this sheet: volunteersignup.org/TMMTB
- Make or buy the item.
- Drop it off at Groundworks in Brattleboro between 4 and 4:30 pm the day of the meal (we can help get it there if needed).

Those who sign up will get an email the Thursday before the dinner with additional details. Please contact Fiona, our meal team coordinator, with any questions: vermontinsight.org/contact-meal-team.

Groundworks Collaborative is an essential lifeline for our unhoused neighbors. Among Groundworks' many services, they offer a hot meal every night to those experiencing homelessness. Vermont Insight volunteers cover one of those meals each month.

🌟Upcoming!🌟 Writing from the Dharma: A Meditation and Spiritual Writing Group

📍Online (register for Zoom link)
📅 Wednesdays, October 28 - November 18
🕰️ 5 - 6:30 pm ET
⌛Registration deadline: October 26, 12 pm ET (limited to 12 participants)
🔗Register here: vermontinsight.org/events/writing-from-the-dharma

The dharma lives in every moment of our ordinary lives. We can literally write about anything and find the dharma in it. It may be a whisper or a megaphone, but it’s always there. In this course, we can feel free to write in any genre that suits us: fiction, poetry, memoir, essay, or mixtures of them all, and know the dharma will shine through.

We will be guided by the Amherst Writers and Artists guidelines of keeping confidentiality, offering only positive feedback for our vulnerable first drafts, and treating all writing as art—and in its own way fiction—so that sharing from our personal lives can feel safe.

Our time will be fashioned around a guided meditation to set the tone, harvesting prompts from the way the dharma shows up in our lives, and time to write and share what we have written during the class with others.

Themes could include: humor and the dharma, common sense and the dharma, path as odyssey, the role of the skeptic in the spiritual life, relationships and practice, how the truth pulls us along, the teacher student relationship, writing and catharsis.
