SUMMARY:For People of Color: Beginning a Meditation Practice
DESCRIPTION:3 Wednesdays: September 7\, 14\, and 21\, 2016\n7:00 pm – 9:00 pm \nA class series for POC led by Mushim \nAre you a looking for a way to start a mindfulness meditation practice\, but don’t quite know how? These classes will give you the basics of sitting and walking/movement meditation in the vipassana (insight) style\, and metta (goodwill) meditation. Don’t worry about “getting it right” – if you can sit – on a folding chair\, on floor cushions\, in a wheelchair – or lie down – and breathe\, you’re off to a good start! For everyone seeking stress reduction and (optional) for those new to Buddhism. As self-identified people of color\, we will practice creating beloved community to support each other’s physical\, mental\, emotional and spiritual well-being.

SUMMARY:Survival\, Resistance and Resiliency: Practice for Men of Color
DESCRIPTION:with EBMC’s Men of Color Deep Refuge Group \nWe warmly invite all self-identified men of color and people of color who are on the spectrum of masculine identities including trans\, non-binary and gender nonconforming.* \nTogether\, we will explore our diverse experiences and definitions of survival\, resistance\, and resiliency\, and how we can bring balance to our individual and collective experience as “men of color”* in our global community. Through meditation\, movement\, and facilitated discussion\, we will discover the various components of our masculine energy and uncover socially conditioned patterns\, in order to refine and reconnect to our authentic human nature.  Here are some questions that reflect our growing and learning edge as a group.  How has masculine conditioning shaped the kind of help we can request and receive from our community?  What parts of masculine conditioning limit our access to the full spectrum of emotional and spiritual expression? What helps to create resilience for our communities? What is our core identification as a group? What does it mean to be “men” within the framework of inclusivity and the gender spectrum? Navigating the world\, we recognize we cannot do this work alone; therefore\, we invite you to join us in sacred community as we collectively connect and cultivate a deeper understanding of what it means to be mindful men of color*. \nRegistration: Registration is required and space is limited. Click here or the link below to register. \nhttps://sept16moc.eventbrite.com \nCost: There is no registration fee for attending this event\, nor most EBMC events.  However\, EBMC is not independently funded.

In this class series we’ll read and discuss beautiful stories from several Buddhist cultures\, chosen for their wisdom\, practical ethics\, and social justice relevance. \nRegistration: Registration is required and space is limited. Click here or the link below to register. \nhttp://eastbaymeditation.org/ebmcreg/?event=oct16myth \nCost: There is no registration fee for attending this event\, nor most EBMC events.  However\, EBMC is not independently funded.
