The event will be a fundraiser for a nonprofit program called Suffering and Delight (http://www.sufferinganddelight.net/) that aims to teach mindfulness practices to people with chronic pain. The idea is that some Zen Buddhist practices, taught in a secular context, can help people to deal with the unique challenges and hardships that come with such conditions. Because many people with chronic pain are on fixed incomes due to their disabilities, fundraising is an important component in making sure that everyone who wants and needs to be involved can participate.
