DC Area Contemplative Law Group
The DC Area Contemplative Law Group is a group of lawyers who seek to balance the externally driven practice of law with contemplative practices. We meet almost every month for meditation and discussion in a private room on the third floor of Skewers/Luna Books (1633 P Street NW).
The meetings run from 7:00PM to 9:00PM, but people often come early to chat or eat something. Parking is $2.00 with validation.
For more information, email Linda Lazarus, LindaLazarus[at]starpower[dot]net
Dharma Group for Lawyers
One Sunday per month
San Francisco and Berkeley Zen Centers
9:30-11:30 a.m.
Led by Mary Mocine
We meditate for a half hour, then discuss an aspect of law practice as it relates to meditation and our deeper values. We will continue to work with Norman Fischer’s book, Taking Our Places:The Buddhist Path to Truly Growing Up.
The meetings alternate between San Francisco and Berkeley Zen Centers. After the discussion, we have a potluck brunch. Coffee and tea are provided.
A teaching donation will be requested.
Meditation instruction will be offered.
