SUMMARY:Dharma in Motion: Kapwa Flow
DESCRIPTION:Led by Jessy Kondo Zapanta \nDrop in Format\, No Advance Registration Required \n“Kapwa” can be defined as “shared inner self”–the unity of “self” and “other.” Kapwa Flow invites you to embody what collective liberation might feel like\, alongside kindred spirits. Jessy will begin circle with a restorative grounding meditation\, followed by a check in to support access needs and individual requests. You will then be guided through a customized flow of dynamic movements\, self-focused bodywork\, and stationary practices based on your personal capacity. Since class is dependent on the combined needs of participants\, no two sessions are the same. All movements can be done sitting\, lying down\, or standing up. \nWith extensive education in bodywork/somatic/energy practices and deep intuition informed by their life experience as a Bay Area-born mixed person of color surviving traumas and chronic illnesses\, Jessy Kondo Zapanta brings compassion\, curiosity and mind-body wisdom to class. Jessy is no stranger to injuries and accessibility needs\, and hopes to create a nurturing space where all bodies feel welcomed.

SUMMARY:Taming Anxiety

In this one-day\, we gather to work with worry and anxiety: how to be with these emotions and engage with practices which can foster calm and ease in both body and mind. \nDharma teachings\, meditations\, group discussions and experiential exercises are offered. \nOpen to all \nSpace is limited and registration is requested. REGISTER HERE \nCost: There is no registration fee for attending this event\, nor most EBMC events. However\, EBMC is not independently funded.

SUMMARY:Drop by Drop: Keeping Faith for the Long Haul
DESCRIPTION:with Deb Kerr \nChanging the mind’s conditioning can be a slow process.  We need patience for the long haul.  And we need faith that what we are doing is effective to lessen suffering.

In this daylong workshop\, we’ll be exploring these themes using silent and guided meditation\, personal reflection and interactive exercises.  Participants will learn to uncover and rest on their own bedrock of faith\, and to foster its ongoing emergence. \nSpace is limited and registration is requested. REGISTER HERE \nCost: There is no registration fee for attending this event\, nor most EBMC events. However\, EBMC is not independently funded.
