Beyond the Binary: Mindfulness of Gender

December 7, 2019 @ 10:00 am - 5:00 pm

with Bri Barnett, Louije Kim, JD Doyle and René Rivera

Open to All *and* we extend a special invitation to those who identity as non-binary, gender nonconforming and their allies.

 

Gender identities and presentations profoundly impact all areas of our lives providing us both joy and difficulties.  How do we create communities that are open to all genders and learn how to navigate the complexities of gender? During this day of practice we will investigate how cultural, historical, and familial conditioning around gender impact us as individuals and as communities. Through meditations and interactive activities, we will explore gender, in order  to nurture a world that is founded in inclusivity and freedom for all.

Space is limited and registration is requested. 

Cost: There is no registration fee for attending this event, nor most EBMC events. However, EBMC is not independently funded. The Center and the teachers will be sustained only by your voluntary donations (the practice of generous giving, or “dana”). Please donate generously, in proportion to your ability:

* Either online (you will be offered an opportunity during the online registration process to donate to EBMC; the teachers will not receive any part of this online donation).
* Or at the event, in the two baskets at EBMC, one for the Center, the second for the Teacher.

Thank you for your generosity. EBMC will be only be sustained through our collective generosity.

Fragrance-free: In order to protect the health of community members with environmental illness, please do not wear fragranced products (including “natural” fragrances) or clothes laundered in fragranced products to EBMC.

EBMC is wheelchair accessible.
