SUMMARY:Let Your Heart Lead You:  To Community\, Healing\, and Joy through Loving Kindness Meditation
DESCRIPTION:Let Your Heart Lead You: To Community\, Healing\, and Joy through Loving Kindness Meditation\nwith Mushim Ikeda and Deb Kerr \nThe practice of lovingkindness has the power to transform our lives. Taught by the Buddha as an antidote to fear and ill-will\, lovingkindness meditation reconnects us to our heart’s natural ability to be open and loving\, both to ourselves and to others. As we do so\, it becomes possible to move beyond “us” and “them” in building resilient communities; we may find deep healing\, both internally and in relationships; and a foundation for joy is established. This daylong will include periods of trauma- and access-informed stationary and moving meditation\, interactive exercises and instruction in establishing and expanding lovingkindness practice. \nSpace is limited and registration is requested. \n \n  \nCost: 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: \n* 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).\n* Or at the event\, in the two baskets at EBMC\, one for the Center\, the second for the Teacher. \nThank you for your generosity.

SUMMARY:Gratitude for All the Things – Joys and Sorrows on the Path of Awakening
DESCRIPTION:with Melvin Escboar \nBuddhist practice teaches us to cultivate gratitude for the 10\,000 joys and sorrows of our lives. As we deepen our practice we begin to appreciate both the bountiful blessings in life and the improbable gifts that arise from suffering. Is it possible to transform the resentments we carry as a result of our traumas and challenges\, including even those created within our families of origin? Strengthening the four qualities of gratitude (conviction\, virtue\, generosity\, and discernment) is essential to answering this question. This daylong will include a dharma talk\, stationary and gentle moving meditation\, guided visualization\, and interactive exercises. \nSpace is limited and registration is requested.  \n \nCost: 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: \n* 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).\n* Or at the event\, in the two baskets at EBMC\, one for the Center\, the second for the Teacher. \nThank you for your generosity.

SUMMARY:Honoring the Six Directions: Buddhist Teachings on Relationship and Community
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Sean Feit Oakes \nIn a beautiful and famous discourse\, the Sigālaka Sutta\, the Buddha taught a framework for building and sustaining healthy communities. He used the model of the Six Directions\, where the practitioner thinks of themself in a web of relationships: with their parents (east)\, teachers (south)\, partner and family (west)\, friends and colleagues (north)\, employees and dependents (below)\, and religious renunciates and charities (above). Reflecting on our place in this maṇḍala of interdependence cultivates gratitude\, generosity\, healing\, ethics\, and social engagement\, strengthening the bonds of beloved community through honoring the gifts and challenges of each type of relationship. \nSpace is limited and registration is requested.  \n \n  \nCost: 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: \n* 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).\n* Or at the event\, in the two baskets at EBMC\, one for the Center\, the second for the Teacher. \nThank you for your generosity.

SUMMARY:Mapping the Heart of Metta: A Journey Towards Tenderness and Love
DESCRIPTION:with Amana Brembry Johnson \nThe heart is a lantern that illuminates the path of our lives.  It is also the lens through which we view the world. That lens\, when rubbed against the abrasions of experience\, begins to glow dim with distortion.  The practice of Lovingkindness clears our vision to see the heart in its true nobility\, resilience\, and tenderness. During this daylong we will practice Loving Kindness meditation.  Through group and community discussion we will identify and strengthen the ways in which we practice self-love\, and ways to enhance our capacity to radiate compassion into a world on fire that is crying for love. \nSpace is limited and registration is requested.  \n \nCost: 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”).
