On November 6th and 7th, the ID Project will be hosting our largest fundraiser to date in the form of a 24- hour Meditation Marathon in the window displays of ABC Carpet & Home. We are aiming to raise funds for the organization to develop as a true community center, develop a radio show, and develop our activism projects in the coming year. We also need additional support in order to raise funds for the organization to continue providing great classes, events and projects for the upcoming year, and expand the scope of our transformative community.

On November 6th ABC Home and Carpet will be hosting the 24 hour meditation marathon in New York City. There is expected to be over 100 participating in the silent meditation that will begin at 7am Friday and continue until Saturday. Their mission is to raise money for the Interdependence Project so be nice and try not to distract them from their goal. Technically speaking, marathoners won’t be sitting for 24-hours straight; they plan to meditate in 40-minute intervals, and take 10-minute “walking meditation” breaks around the block. Normally, these are extremely slow, silent walks in which meditators focus on the precise movements of their body—much like yoga.
