Acknowledgments

We offer gratitude to Thich Nhat Hanh for his courage, love, teachings, and practice. Through his presence and through his books he has made it possible for millions of people to more fully develop their mindfulness, understanding, love, and joy. And a special thanks to Thay, as Thich Nhat Hanh is affectionately known by his students, for the calligraphy on our logo.

Thanks to Dharma Teachers Anh-Huong Nguyen and Thu Nguyen who have selflessly nurtured and supported the Washington D.C. area mindfulness communities for more than 15 years.

Thanks to Peter Cook, who taught us that our web pages could convey our spirit as well as provide information, and then helped us do it.

Thanks to Patrick Harris and Cyberian Frontier for hosting our website and providing our e-mail announcement services. Our experience has been that Cyberian Frontier offers personalized, professional, and mindful web development and internet services. To learn more, go to www.cyberianfrontier.com.

Thanks to the Still Water Working Group (Annie, Patti, Scott, Julia, David, Sandy, Rachel, Mitchell, Abbie, Lynda, Joan, Steve, and Beverly) who lovingly envision, plan, and implement Still Water activities.

And thanks to everyone who has come to a Still Water activity, contributed, or held us in their hearts. Without this community, we could not be.
