Join us for a morning of practice with Palestine. This event will include a live feed from the village of Masafer Yatta, where members of the EBMC community are practicing peaceful, protective presence. We invite you to bring your meditation/spiritual practice as an offer for the safety of the people of Palestine.
As we practice with Palestine, we will extend the blessings of the dharma from Oakland and our online sangha to all communities of resistance around the globe. Times are clearly difficult, and what else is true: We are in this together.
All are welcome.
For more information on Masafer Yatta see the recent Oscar winning film: No Other Land.
Presented with the decolonial dharma.
Cost
The teachings are regarded as priceless. So they are offered without a fee. You are invited to support the teachings and our efforts by contributing voluntary donations (the practice of “Dana”) for the expenses of the meditation center and the support of the teachers.
The ticket prices are listed as different tiers with suggested donations based on income ranges. For those who wish to give more, you may choose an “add-on” to your ticket. For those unable to give, there is an option for that.
Other ways to give:
To make a gift to sustain the work of East Bay Meditation Center, you may 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.
Thank 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.
For in-person participation:
For those wishing to practice in person, space will be limited to 60 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: The teacher may be unmasked while teaching.
To 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: https://eastbaymeditation.org/resources/fragrance-free-at-ebmc/
