When the Interdependence Project, a nonprofit Buddhist meditation and eco-activism group, started planning their fall 2009 fund-raiser, conventional methods like bake sales and kissing booths were quickly rejected. After all, what’s the one thing a meditation group can do really well? Sit! So that’s what they’re doing with “Sit Down, Rise Up,” a 24-hour meditation marathon staged in the windows of ABC Carpet & Home.
IDP members will be sitting in four-hour shifts, while Ethan Nichtern, who founded the group four years ago in the East Village, aims to hold it down for the entirety of the event, which runs from 6pm tonight until 7pm tomorrow. You can go here to make a donation. Otherwise, stop by for the opening ceremony at 6pm, or anytime tonight or tomorrow.
