| About
the Interdependence Project
 An
educational 501c3 not-for-profit organization, The InterDependence
Project (I.D. Project for short) is a diverse
project for folks interested in exploring their minds on the meditation
cushion and applying the insights, clarity, and wisdom developed
by mindfulness meditation techniques to a variety of applications
in the world of arts, ecology, activism and community service.
The I.D. Project offers various weekly and monthly Buddhist-inspired
classes and meditation gatherings in NYC's East Village, as well
as day-long workshops on a variety of topics from the world of
contemplative trainings, meditative education, activism, and the
arts. We currently have one ongoing eco-activism project (Back
to the Sack: No More Plastic Bags), as well as monthly
arts groups, weekly podcasts, a Guest Lecture Series (Sit
Down, Rise Up) an
online magazine, and a daily blog.
Consistent meditation practice has
now been scientifically demonstrated to reduce stress, help individuals
cope with addiction, and increase focus and awareness, as well
as instill in the practitioner a greater sense of compassion and
concern for fellow human beings. And what do we do with all these
benefits? We apply them to our creative pursuits, our desire to
serve our local community, and our concern for the troubled state
of our global society.
So in addition to our weekly classes
and workshops, download our weekly
podcast, come on by for an
arts group or show, check out our online magazine Sentient
City, or participate in our
responsible consumption and community activism work. Our service
work focuses on: lessening our negative impact on our society,
ecological issues, and pro-peace issues. Our arts work includes
bi-annual art shows, a writers group, a theater group, a life-drawing
group, and plans to include a film group and a musicians group.
Sentient City Magazine accepts work of all genres as well as visual,
musical, and film submissions.
