SUMMARY:Decolonizing Sexuality: A Workshop for Men\, Masculine Identified and Non-Binary People
DESCRIPTION:with Lama Rod Owens and Rev. Daigan Gaithers \nThrough retreat\, meditation\, dialogue\, sharing and personal storytelling\, journaling and ritual\, we will together unpack how patriarchy has shaped our expressions of masculinity and the self more generally. We will take up a dharmic lens to examine our relationship to violence and domination\, power\, femininity\, love and sexuality along a path to unveiling and honoring non-patriarchal expressions of who we are as human beings. Our intention is to illuminate how patriarchal expressions of self create suffering for all of us as we begin to develop a relationship to a more sacred masculinity. Our hope is that these efforts will not only further our own liberation\, but begin to cultivate spiritual communities and a human world where both the sacred feminine and masculine are held in loving balance. \nSpace is limited and registration is required.

SUMMARY:Beginning a Meditation Practice
DESCRIPTION:with Mushim Ikeda \nPart of East Bay Meditation Center’s Core Buddhist Teachings – 5 Month Curriculum \nAre you looking for a way to start a mindfulness meditation practice\, but don’t quite know how? These classes will give you the basics of stationary and walking/gentle movement meditation in the vipassana (insight) style\, and metta (loving kindness or good will) meditation. Don’t worry about “getting it right” – if you can sit – on a folding chair\, on floor cushions\, in a wheelchair – or lie down – and breathe\, you’re off to a good start! This series is for those seeking stress reduction\, or it can be the gateway to those new to Buddhism. Meditation can help you\, over time\, to develop a sense of increased physical well-being\, mental clarity\, compassionate connection\, and spiritual growth.  \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. The Center and the teachers will be sustained only by your voluntary donations (the practice of generous giving\, or “dana”).
