The @2:50 group meets online via Zoom at 2:50 pm every day. But we get to meet in real life occasionally. On December 13th, the 1723rd @2:50 silent session happened at the Harvard Art Museums.
This image shows a museum advertisement: “Be Here.” Our group took that idea to the next level!
Listening to the sounds of conversation as they echoed across the museum courtyard recalled the echoes of inner voices that can crop up during meditation. It's so interesting to just “be here” for them.
The museum’s advertisement says, “Be Immersed.” Yes, exactly! That’s what we did.
Being immersed can happen in an instant. By being mindful for a little bit daily, we optimize our chances of being immersed IRL. We're normalizing silence ten minutes at a time.
Noticing the subtle changes in our internal and external environments invites awareness. In this photo from our Dec 13th meetup, the sun hangs low behind Harvard buildings near the museum after meditation.
The bigger conversation at the At250 group included the idea of the sun's relationship to the Earth, as the time zones span the globe.
