​Why have a Mindful Movie Screening?
“The quality of your life depends on the seeds you water. If you plant tomato seeds in your gardens, tomatoes will grow. Just so, if you water a seed of peace in your mind, peace will grow… When the seed of anger in you is watered, you will become angry…” - Thich Nhat Hanh

​Streaming content these days is filled with violence, horror, and fear. We often find ourselves searching for inspiring & uplifting content, and discovering that it is way harder to find than it should be! What we watch matters.. and that’s why we started the Mindful Movie Series.

​Cost
•⁠ Free for Commons & Community Village members (BYO dinner or send $15 at registration & dinner will be included)
•⁠ ⁠$10 suggested donation for general public (BYO dinner)
•⁠ ⁠$25 suggested donation for general public (dinner included)

​Join us to curate a Mindful Movie Resource Guide!
We’re launching a collaborative effort to curate a Resource Guide of wholesome movies & tv shows. Let’s see if we can re-direct a fraction of our streaming time to bringing to life a more wholesome world :) Have a movie/tv-show to contribute? Send it over to mindfulstreaming@community-village.org

​Community Village is a community-first approach to meditation oriented towards people in their 20s and 30s - and open to ALL (we don’t check IDs! :)). Whether you want to learn how to meditate, or are an experienced practitioner: our intention is to co-create welcoming and supportive environments to build meaningful connections, get inspired and learn how to bring practice into everyday life. We are a peer-led community, co-created by its members. Some come join in!

​The SF Commons is a community gathering space in Hayes Valley. By day, we are a pro-social coworking space, and by night, we turn into a community meeting house with member-created and public events for communal meaning-making, personal discovery, and self-expression.
