If you haven't visited the ning site for a while, I suggest you do so. Ann Braun has done a wonderful job reconfiguring the site to make it easier to use and more helpful. There are any number of active conversations in the Forums and great participation in the photo galleries, curated by Tracy. Check out the Hell Realm photos, for example.
Our next venture is in the Events section. Starting today, anyone may post events, i.e., retreats, workshops and classes related to Buddhist practice. We want you to learn about events that may be helpful in your practice and let other people know about practice-related events in your area.
When you now click on the Events tab, you will see a drop-down menu with three items: guidelines, add an event, and events listing. All you have to do is enter the relevant information for your practice event. Be sure to include both city and state in the location field, to make it easier for people to find events close to them. You will also need to upload a graphic associated with the event.
In keeping with our community guidelines, please remember that Unfettered Mind and this ning site are all part of our effort to nurture and enrich a culture of awakening. A culture can be thought of as a collection of on-going conversations that take place in different media. Our aim is that these conversations support your efforts to be awake and present in your lives and be free from both promotional or commercial intrusions and from rigid rules of behavior. And this can only happen if you help to make it this way.
If you have any problems, please contact any of the site administrators (hmmm, we'll probably have to change that term, administrator sounds awfully official). They are all familiar with the site and are usually available to help with problems.
As I said, this is an experiment. We'll try it, and see how it goes. If problems develop, we have a Plan B.
Happy postings!
Ken
