HYBRID: Ceasefire Sangha Presents: Practice for Palestine Liberation
October 18th 2025
1-4 PM PT
With anuradha bhagwati, Tania Triana, and Ream
Closed Captioning Provided on Zoom
The center is fragrance-free and wheelchair accessible
N95/KN95 masks required
Please join the EBMC community in practice for Palestine. Our hearts are with the people of Palestine as we continue to act as a Ceasefire Sangha— a beloved community working for the liberation of all in alignment with the teachings of the Buddha.
We hear the call to Free Palestine and respond from our hearts. We know legacies of settler colonialism and racism are being undone by this freedom movement. We come together in this time of rising up for land and liberation by people across the world, inspired by Palestine, and in reverence and practice with the Land Back movement and the Ohlone, Oakland’s indigenous people.
This afternoon of practice will include: mindfulness, ceremony and sharing in community, as we call in the protection and support of the buddhas, elements and our ancestors for this work. There will be dharma reflection and sharing, stationary and moving meditation, and community support.
We welcome you to join us as you are, with your broken heart, your anger and your longings for a home in liberation.
Presented with decolonial dharma.
