SUMMARY:ONLINE: Kapwa Meditation for Filipinx/a/o Community
DESCRIPTION:We are happy to announce that a weekly Kapwa Meditation for Filipinx/a/o folks will begin on Wednesday\, Jan. 8\, from 7:00 to 7:30 AM Pacific Time. We will continue to gather every Wednesday morning\, coming together for support and practice\, on our paths of individual and collective transformation. \n  \nIn addition to our weekly meditation\, we would like to remind everyone of our monthly Kapwa Deep Refuge Group for Filipinx/a/o folks. Launched in the Spring of 2024\, we meet on the third Sunday of every month\, from 9:00 to 10:30 AM Pacific Time. \nTogether\, in both spaces\, we aspire to cultivate a special community space in the intersection of Filipinx/a/o identity + culture + history and Buddhist spiritual practice. \nThe Zoom credentials are the same for both our weekly Wednesday meditation and our monthly gathering. \nIf you identify as Filipinx/a/o and would like to join\, please contact us at: kapwa.deep.refuge@gmail.com

These practices are considered complementary to insight (mindfulness) meditation. Dharma talks\, discussion and Q&A. Instruction provided for beginners in meditation. \n  \n\n\n\n\nCost \nThe teachings are regarded as priceless. So they are offered without a fee. You are invited to support the teachings and our efforts by contributing voluntary donations (the practice of “Dana”) for the expenses of the meditation center and the support of the teachers. \nThe ticket prices are listed as different tiers with suggested donations based on income ranges. For those who wish to give more\, you may choose an “add-on” to your ticket.
