“Letting Go” with Forgiveness & Goodwill

May 4, 2019 @ 9:00 am - 3:00 pm

For Self-Identified People of Color

with Rev. Keiryū Liên Shutt

Impermanence is part of life. We want “to move on” through wishing ourselves or another well, yet it’s hard to do. The thought of “sending goodwill” is nice but it may seem insurmountable.

This 1-day workshop and retreat provides a gentle container to foster letting go of old hurts and pains. In the morning, teachings, exercises and practices on forgiveness are offered. In the afternoon, we switch to a retreat format: engaging in guided meditations, generating goodwill to specific categories.

 

* Please bring any form of mementos for those you’d like to generate forgiveness and/or goodwill to in these meditations.

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.
