SUMMARY:Online: Honoring Our Ancestors
DESCRIPTION:with Arisika Razak  \nBased on who we are. . . what we’ve been through. . . how we survive and where we stand\, we are on . . . sacred ground. We stand on the backs of our ancestors. -Ava DuVernay \nHow are our lives informed by the actions of our ancestors – our lineage ancestors\, our art and activist ancestors\, and our spiritual ancestors? What can we learn from their choices and experiences – and how do we integrate the multicultural lineages of warring peoples that we carry in our bodies? How can our experiences of intergenerational trauma provide a foundation for individual and community healing and the retrieval of ancestral wisdom? Join us for a half day of storytelling\, dharma teachings\, movement\, and art in which we compassionately examine our diverse ancestral histories\, celebrate our multicultural heritage/s and create a new liberation story. Please bring writing and/or art supplies with you – as well as an object that represents your innate connection to Spirit\, the ancestors or your personal power. \nRegistered participants will receive a link to join us via Zoom with their EventBrite Confirmation.

DESCRIPTION:for White Practitioners \n10:00AM -12:15PM and 2:00PM-4:00PM PST \nwith Crystal Johnson and JD Doyle \nWhite supremacy culture and white fragility are all over the news and have entered mainstream conversations; but how can whiteness be both supreme and fragile?

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Reclaiming Our Magic for Liberation Struggle  for Black\, Indigenous and People of Color
DESCRIPTION:with Lama Rod Owens  \nIn order to experience true liberation\, we must do the work to reclaim parts of ourselves that have been lost to the violence of systematic oppression.  \nMagic is an important expression of who we are as QTIPoC and BIPOC communities. In this context\, magic means how we use our sexual and other expressions to cultivate connection and belong or how we use our laughter to consume experiences of being erased or even how we remember our ancestors to deepen our sense of resiliency.  \nOur magic is how we dance into a future free from the limitations of rigidity and control. In this talk\, we will practice reclaiming our magic because the world needs us to cast stronger spells of liberation. \nRegistered participants will receive a link to join us via Zoom.  \n \n

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Love and Rage Weekend Workshop
DESCRIPTION:with Lama Rod Owens  \nAs Audre Lorde has written\, there is so much data in our anger. One of the things that we can learn is how to let our anger show us where we have been hurt. We can let this great unveiling happen through the profound practice of radical love. When we embrace this deep wish to be happy\, then we can move into the cultivation of our anger\, which can place us into a direct relationship with our rage. \nWhile anger is a reaction in the present moment to something that we have an aversion towards\, rage is an intense experience that seems old and ever present. Cultivating our anger and rage through love means that we begin the work of holding space for ourselves to experience the anger and rage and the hurt beneath them. We are learning how to witness and experience not react over and over again. When we develop this agency\, then the energy of our anger and rage can be channeled into helping others instead of hurting others. \nRegistered participants will receive a link to join us via Zoom.  \n \n

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Race & Grace:  Conversations on Liberation with Black Male Dharma Teachers
DESCRIPTION:All Are Welcome. ASL Interpretation and Closed Captioning provided. \n12-3PM PST Program \n3-4PM PST Community RoundTable & After-Party \nGuest Teachers:   \nJoshua Bee Alafia  \nDevin Berry  \nJustin F. Miles  \nLarry Ward  \nPoet:  \nTongo Eisen-Martin  \nModerator:  \nMaster John W. Ellis IV (Martial Artist\, Journalist\, EBMC Community Teacher) \n“Race & Grace\,” is a discussion among Black male Dharma teachers. All are welcome to attend.  \nWe have faced severe challenges recently – in politics and policing\, education and the environment\, healthcare and housing\, income and injustice. This year these issues and others have been greatly amplified by racism – through both personal acts and institutional systems. How do these African American teachers face these problems and opportunities? How do these Black men balance their anger and despair with love and compassion? In this conversation teachers will offer their wisdom teachings – ancient\, modern and personal – that can help all of us address the suffering of our times and move toward liberation…with grace. \nRegistered participants will receive a link to join us via Zoom.

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Mind Full of Breathing: A Four Class Series on the Ānāpānasati Sutta
DESCRIPTION:Mondays November 2nd\, 9th\, 16th and 23rd 7:00 – 8:30PM PST \nwith Vimalasara Mason John \nThis 4-week course will turn towards the traditional four tetrads of the Anapanasati. The Buddha was teaching us to simply breathe through the experience of the body\, feelings\, mental formation\, and all dharmas. Together we will experience that while the world is constantly changing around us\, our body\, feelings\, mental formations and all dharmas are constantly changing too. This ancient practice has set free and liberated many beings from the prison of their minds and body. This teaching can bring us much joy\, and teach us to “cherish the dharma\, radiate love and live united” Dhardo Rimpoche. \nRegistered participants will receive a link to join us via Zoom.
