Building the Beloved Community: A Day of Radically Inclusive Movement and Creativity

August 11, 2019 @ 10:00 am - 4:30 pm

with Arisika Razak and Jessy Zapanta

“Liberatory access . . . resists . . . the world we don’t want and actively builds the world we do want.”
Mia Mingus

This workshop invites participants with a variety of abilities, disabilities and preferred modes of creative expression to come together to create a one-day sangha which honors diverse bodies, abilities, and creative modalities. Using radically inclusive movement, which prioritizes the needs and abilities of all participants, we will engage in chi kung, tapping, and gentle, playful movement meditations to embody the collective liberation and sense of belonging that our Buddha-natures desire. Music, writing and art will be used to support integration and reflection, and small and large group sharing will encourage community building across difference/s to create a Beloved community. Participants are invited to bring a item to share on the community altar. 

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:

* 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.
