SUMMARY:Finding Liberation in Relationship
DESCRIPTION:  \nFinding Liberation in Relationship: Accountability\, Conflict\, Boundaries and Feedback\nwith Dawn Haney and René Rivera \n4 Wednesdays evenings: November 30\, December 7\, 14\, 21 \n6:30-8:30 pm PT (Time Zone Converter)  \n ASL Interpretation and Closed Captioning Provided \nIn this time of so much conflict\, division and uprising\, how do we bring our practice to our relationships\, and how do we find freedom and choice there? Our friendships\, partnerships\, family and communities can be a source of joy and support\, and also of struggle and suffering. In this four week class we will explore concrete practices grounded in Buddhist meditation\, somatics\, and transformative justice. We will practice feedback\, boundaries\, and nervous system regulation\, while applying mindfulness to investigate our conditioned tendencies and positionality in power relations. Through turning towards the delight and difficulty in our relationships we will build resource and resilience and create space to be our most authentic selves. \n– – –  \n100% 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. You are invited to make donations directly to the teachers to support their Dharma service.  \n

SUMMARY:Finding Liberation in Relationship
DESCRIPTION:  \nFinding Liberation in Relationship: Accountability\, Conflict\, Boundaries and Feedback\nwith Dawn Haney and René Rivera \n4 Wednesdays evenings: November 30\, December 7\, 14\, 21 \n6:30-8:30 pm PT (Time Zone Converter)  \n ASL Interpretation and Closed Captioning Provided \nIn this time of so much conflict\, division and uprising\, how do we bring our practice to our relationships\, and how do we find freedom and choice there? Our friendships\, partnerships\, family and communities can be a source of joy and support\, and also of struggle and suffering. In this four week class we will explore concrete practices grounded in Buddhist meditation\, somatics\, and transformative justice. We will practice feedback\, boundaries\, and nervous system regulation\, while applying mindfulness to investigate our conditioned tendencies and positionality in power relations. Through turning towards the delight and difficulty in our relationships we will build resource and resilience and create space to be our most authentic selves. \n– – –  \n100% 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. You are invited to make donations directly to the teachers to support their Dharma service.  \n
