Healing the Healers – Cultivating Our Resilience and Creativity for People of Color

July 20, 2019 @ 10:00 am - 4:00 pm

with Melvin Escobar 

for Self Identified People of Color

You’re invited to come be in community with other healers and caregivers, to have a day of resting in the refuge of sangha. Buddhist teachings will be interwoven with contemporary psychological frameworks and informed by an understanding of structural oppression. As the saying goes, “make sure to put on your oxygen mask first.” Taking care of oneself is foundational to being of true service. Through meditation practices and interactive exercises, we will explore how to cultivate and build our resilience and creativity in order to manage compassion fatigue and help mitigate vicarious trauma and burnout. Healers need healing, too!

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:

* 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).
* 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.

Fragrance-free: In order to protect the health of community members with environmental illness, please do not wear fragranced products (including “natural” fragrances) or clothes laundered in fragranced products to EBMC.

EBMC is wheelchair accessible.
