Dear Kapwa Sangha,
You’re invited to a new monthly gathering for self-identifying Filipinx/a/o (including mixed) practitioners offered at EBMC this spring. The intention is to offer a consistent, low-pressure space for practice and community connection.
Gathering Details
Dates:
Third Saturdays
March 21, April 18, and May 16
Time:
3:00–5:00 pm PT
Location:
East Bay Meditation Center
285 17th St, Oakland
Format
– Peer-led meditation or contemplative practice
– Potluck and time for informal connection
Food offerings are completely open. If possible, please label items with ingredients or common allergens (e.g., dairy-free, nuts, gluten).
Accessibility & Care
This gathering will follow EBMC’s existing policies regarding masking, fragrance-free spaces, and accessibility.
Children are welcome. Adults are responsible for any minors they bring. No childcare will be provided.
Attendance
This is an in-person offering; no Zoom option will be available.
Participants are always welcome to just show up. If you plan to attend, you’re also welcome to email me (mpapaya3 at gmail dot com) in advance so I can get a general sense of attendance. You’re welcome to attend one gathering, some, or all of them. Building community happens through presence; through showing up, sitting together, sharing food, and practicing alongside one another over time. This gathering is offered in that spirit, with the hope of creating a space that can be shaped collectively through our participation.
