SUMMARY:IN PERSON: Healing the Wounds of Christianity: A Daylong for the Alphabet (LGBTQIA+) Community
DESCRIPTION:IN PERSON: Healing the Wounds of Christianity: A Daylong for the Alphabet (LGBTQIA+) Community \nwith Melvin Escobar & Dawn Haney \nSunday\, March 31\, 2024 \n10:00 AM – 3:00 PM Pacific Time \nIn person at EBMC (285 17th St\, Oakland CA 94612) \n  \nAs mindfulness practitioners learning in the United States\, the cultural dominance of Christianity shapes our practice in unacknowledged ways. For those of us in the Alphabet (LGBTQIA+) Community\, how have we attempted to escape the traumatic and historical wounds of Christianity with our mindfulness practice\, only to find the same puritan values infused here too? Melvin & Dawn will bring together mindfulness practices and expressive art activities to directly explore Christian dominance (including its whiteness/patriarchy) and how we might collectively heal ourselves and our practices. \n  \n \nAll registered participants will receive an EventBrite confirmation email.  \n  \nFor in-person participation: \nFor those wishing to practice in person\, space will be limited to 40 people to allow ample space for social distancing. Participants will be asked to wear N95 or KN95 face masks. (N95 face masks will be available at EBMC.) Please note: Teachers may be unmasked while teaching. \nTo attend in person\, you need to be completely free of fragranced body and clothing products — more information and a list of fragrance free products\, including those that are especially good for people of color\, appears on our website. \nEast Bay Meditation Center is a scent free / fragrance free space and is wheelchair accessible. \n  \nTeacher Bios \n \nMelvin Escobar (he/him) is a Core Teacher at the East Bay Meditation Center\, licensed psychotherapist\, and yoga instructor. He has walked the path of service for much of his life\, drawing on his experiences as a queer man of color from an immigrant working-class background. Melvin is driven by the desire to make wisdom teachings accessible in culturally relevant ways and continues daily to learn the revolutionary potential of body-centered contemplative practices for personal and social healing.  \n \nDawn Haney (they/she) has been organizing\, coaching\, teaching\, and writing for 25 years\, on feminism\, white anti-racism\, Buddhism\, leadership\, and liberation. They weave wisdom from Buddhism and social justice traditions\, understanding identity\, power\, and change through their own experiences as a white\, fat\, queer\, nonbinary femme\, and through social movements from migrant justice to fat liberation. A dharma student since 2003\, she is a graduate of Spirit Rock’s Community Dharma Leaders program\, a Community Teacher at East Bay Meditation Center and the Alphabet Sangha\, and has taught across the US\, including as a former Co-Director of Buddhist Peace Fellowship. \n  \nCost \nThe teachings are regarded as priceless. So they are offered without a fee.

He has walked the path of service for much of his life\, drawing on his experiences as a queer man of color from an immigrant working-class background. Melvin is driven by the desire to make wisdom teachings accessible in culturally relevant ways and continues daily to learn the revolutionary potential of body-centered contemplative practices for personal and social healing. \n \nFor a decade\, Jonathan Relucio taught trauma healing yoga\, meditation\, and\nmindfulness in urban schools\, mental health clinics and juvenile detention centers as\nSenior Trainer for Niroga Institute. He completed East Bay Meditation Center’s Spiritual Teacher and Leadership (STL) Program and Spirit Rock’s Mindfulness\, Yoga and Meditation Training; he is grateful to be a practitioner and teacher at both centers. Jonathan facilitates transformation in social justice movements with Rockwood Leadership Institute; integrates mindfulness with restorative circles for healing and racial equity; and is the co-founder of AllThriveEd.org.  With over 20 years of experience in social services\, community organizing\, training\, and leadership development\, Jonathan values yoga and Dharma as liberation practices that heal us from oppressive systems. \n  \nTo support the teachings of Jonathan and Melvin\, please do so via: \n–For Jonathan — \nPayPal: discaya@gmail.com \nVenmo: @JonathanRelucio\, https://www.venmo.com/u/JonathanRelucio \n–For Melvin — \nPayPal: melvin@melvinescobar.com\, paypal.me/PAYPALmelvinescobar \nVenmo: @Melvin-Escobar\, https://www.venmo.com/u/Melvin-Escobar \n  \nTo make a gift to sustain the work of East Bay Meditation Center\, please do so via Paypal: paypal.me/eastbaymeditation or our website: eastbaymeditation.org/dana 100% of our programming is sliding scale and no one will ever be turned away for lack of funds. \n  \nThank you for the gifts of your generosity and for supporting the work of East Bay Meditation Center and our beloved teachers who have volunteered their time.

SUMMARY:IN PERSON: Drop-in Practice with Palestine

We know legacies of settler colonialism and racism are being undone by this freedom movement. We come together in this time of rising up for land and liberation by people across the world\, inspired by Palestine\, and in reverence and practice with the Land Back movement and the Ohlone\, Oakland’s indigenous people.\n\n\nThis morning of practice will include: mindfulness\, ceremony and sharing in community\, as we call in the protection and support of the buddhas\, elements and our ancestors for this work. There will be dharma reflection and sharing\, stationary and moving meditation\, and community support.\nWe welcome you to join us as you are\, with your broken heart\, your anger and your longings for a home in liberation. No registration required.\n\n\nWE NEED HELP WITH SETUP\, GREETING\, AND CLEAN-UP!\nIf you are interested and available\, please email Ream: ream.somatics@gmail.com\n\n~Setup: Come at about 9:30am to help with cushions and chairs\n~Greeting: Open the door and help welcome sangha members to the space (ideal if 2-3 people are available from 10am to 1pm and can switch off)\n~Cleanup: Stay until about 1:30pm to help put things away and close the center\n\n\nIN PERSON POLICIES: \nCapacity is limited to 60 people.  Participants will be asked to bring and wear N95 or KN95 face masks. (N95 face masks will be available at EBMC if you forget yours.) Please note: The teacher may be unmasked while teaching.
