Huntington Agenda: Billie Holiday Tribute, Boxing

It will certainly feel like fall this weekend with temperatures barely topping 70, but there's no rain in the forecast and there's plenty going on around town for those looking to get out of the house. 

Huntington

Boxing Returns to Paramount

Joe DeGuardia's Star Boxing will bring Huntington's Chris Algieri back to the Paramount Saturday for a program that will also broadcast the Mayweather/Canelo world title clash on the big screen. Show starts at 7:30 p.m. Find tickets here. 

Mini-Retreat, A Morning of Healing

Come for an introduction to the practice of Medicine Buddha and a mini retreat at Dipamkara Meditation Center! From Medicine Buddha we can learn about the deepest causes of disease. The “three poisons” of attachment, aversion & ignorance function continually to distort and disturb our body and mind at many levels, both visibly and invisibly. If we are working to dissolve these three poisons, then we are on a path to healing at the deepest level.
