SUMMARY:Cultivating Solidarity and Building Stamina for Transformative Action (for White Practitioners)
DESCRIPTION:Cultivating Solidarity and Building Stamina for Transformative Action (for White Practitioners) \nwith Crystal Johnson\, JD Doyle and Evan Hoppin \n10:00AM -12:15PM and 2:00PM-4:00PM PST \nThis is a moment in history when awareness of the harm of systemic racism and injustice is heightened and one of the challenges for us as white people is to stay focused enough and centered enough to take wise action.  To do this\, we can use our practice to build our capacity to be present to the painful and complex feelings so that we can acknowledge\, investigate\, and truly witness the legacy of centuries of violent oppression.  In this way\, we can build the stamina necessary to transform the system of white supremacy both internally and externally\, for the benefit of all beings. \nRegistered participants will receive a link to join us via Zoom with their EventBrite confirmation email.  \n \n

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Turning Towards Our Body During a Time of Turbulence\, Suffering and Fear
DESCRIPTION:A four class series exploring the four foundations of Mindfulness with Vimalasara Mason John.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWednesdays\, July 15th\, 22nd\, 29th and August 5th   7:00-8:30PM PST  \nwith Vimalasara Mason John \nThe Buddha taught the four foundations of mindfulness as a way to gain freedom from the external and internal worlds that we live in. During times of PandemicS Covid 19\, racial and social injustices it is inevitable that many of us will flee the body\, switch all feelings of and run to the comfort of our thoughts\, and many other distractions. The hardest thing many of us will ever do is coming back to the breath\, to the body\, to feelings. If we want liberation we have to find a way back to the body. During this 4 week course we will journey through the 4 tetrads of the Mindfulness of Breathing\, working with the body\, feelings\, thoughts\, the nature of all things. We will cultivate metta to access the ancient practice of the four foundations of mindfulness\, to help us see more clearly during these turbulent times of pandemics and uprisings. It will be held with kindness\, giving space to anyone who would like to have a compassionate inquiry into whatever arises during the course. This course is for anyone who is ready to rediscover the elixir of the breath and the salve of loving-kindness. \nRegistered participants will receive a link to join us via Zoom with their EventBrite confirmation email.

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Turning Towards Our Body During a Time of Turbulence\, Suffering and Fear
DESCRIPTION:A four class series exploring the four foundations of Mindfulness with Vimalasara Mason John.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWednesdays\, July 15th\, 22nd\, 29th and August 5th   7:00-8:30PM PST  \nwith Vimalasara Mason John \nThe Buddha taught the four foundations of mindfulness as a way to gain freedom from the external and internal worlds that we live in. During times of PandemicS Covid 19\, racial and social injustices it is inevitable that many of us will flee the body\, switch all feelings of and run to the comfort of our thoughts\, and many other distractions. The hardest thing many of us will ever do is coming back to the breath\, to the body\, to feelings. If we want liberation we have to find a way back to the body. During this 4 week course we will journey through the 4 tetrads of the Mindfulness of Breathing\, working with the body\, feelings\, thoughts\, the nature of all things. We will cultivate metta to access the ancient practice of the four foundations of mindfulness\, to help us see more clearly during these turbulent times of pandemics and uprisings. It will be held with kindness\, giving space to anyone who would like to have a compassionate inquiry into whatever arises during the course. This course is for anyone who is ready to rediscover the elixir of the breath and the salve of loving-kindness. \nRegistered participants will receive a link to join us via Zoom with their EventBrite confirmation email.

SUMMARY:ONLINE: 4 Divine Abodes in Challenging Times: A 1-Day Silent Retreat
DESCRIPTION:with Rev. Liên Shutt \nAs we continue to endeavor in creating a just and liberatory world in these shifting times\, the teachings on the 4 Divine Abodes can help us stay centered and connected. \nQualities of Kindness\, Compassion\, Inclusive Joy\, and Equanimity can be hard to access when there’s internal or worldly turmoil. Practicing these Abodes as guided meditations helps us to know them — for ourselves and to be able to send out to others. \nJoin for the full day or come in/out as you’re able. There will be short teachings and 2 short meditations per Abode quality. However\, please try to TIME your entering/exiting to coincide with scheduled times to allow for the event manager to be able to participate also. \nNOTE: Teachings on each Divine Abode are only at the times marked. Therefore\, if possible\, please join at the beginning for the Introductions & 1st Teachings to get the full sense of how these are best practiced. ALL Meditations are visualized guided meditations. The 2nd in each Abode section will be mostly silent for your own personalization. Full schedule provided to registered participants. \nRegistered participants will receive a link to join us via Zoom with their Confirmation Email from EventBrite.  \n \n
