SUMMARY:Loneliness\, Imperfection & Resilience:  A Buddhist-based approach
DESCRIPTION:with Mushim Ikeda  \nLoneliness is painful\, and seems to be on the rise despite the easy connectivity promised by internet and social media.

This Buddhist-based approach will include reflective journaling\, experiential exercises\, mindfulness meditation (beginners are welcome)\, Dharma talks\, and discussion. Bring your kindest and most whole self.  \nREGISTER 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”). Please donate generously\, in proportion to your ability: \n* 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).\n* Or at the event\, in the two baskets at EBMC\, one for the Center\, the second for the Teacher. \nThank you for your generosity. EBMC will be only be sustained through our collective generosity. \nFragrance-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. \nEBMC is wheelchair accessible. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Dharma in Motion: Embodying Metta
DESCRIPTION:Embodying Metta: Yoga with Jess Dene Schlesinger\nTuesdays 6:00 pm – 6:50 pm / October 2 – November 27\n \nEmbodying Metta is a Trauma-Informed and Access-Centered Yoga class— invitational\, consensual\, and variations for differing abilities and access need are offered.  Connecting breath with movement\, we will work on developing lovingkindness for our complete selves\, reminded that all bodies and minds are perfect and whole as is.  Each class will focus on the accessing the vagus nerve (closely tied to our sympathetic nervous systems)\, gentle alignment\, and embodying resiliency and lovingkindness. \nDharma in Motion is a weekly offering of access-centered movement practices for all ages and abilities. Teachers and modalities will rotate every 5-6 weeks. Drop in format\, no experience necessary. Please wear clothing that allows for gentle movement. \nJess Dene Schlesinger began practicing yoga and meditation 17 years ago but found that most classes she attended were not accessible for her needs. With the support of Disability Justice activists\, she created Access-Centered Movement\, a trauma-informed framework that attempts to dismantle the hierarchy of bodies and minds. She uses her vast knowledge of physical therapy and holistic health\, her lived experience as a disabled queer\, and her intuitive and empathetic abilities to offer relief for trauma and pain.  Aware that the ancestors of the spiritual traditions she practices are not her own\, she is committed to decolonizing her practice and works to organize anti-racist white yoga teachers to do the same.  \n

SUMMARY:Liberation: A True Refuge
DESCRIPTION:A seeker’s path to healing and awakening \nFor LGBTQIA Identified  \nwith Carol Cano  \n“Freedom is not given to us by anyone; we have to cultivate it ourselves. It is a practice.”  \nThich Nhat Hanh \nThis three-week series will give a basic understanding and overview of the essential Buddhist teachings and practices of mindfulness meditation. We will explore a cross-cultural approach to Queer spirituality by braiding our dharma practice with indigenous wisdom and develop a trusting relationship with the Great mystery of life.  \nWe will practice deepening our relationship with intentional community and integrate practices in Nature. We will also build an altar that represents our teachers of past\, present and future each time we meet.  In the beginning of the class we will create an altar of freedom fighters\, teachers of the heart and wisdom holders from our community. Each time we break the altar down we will acknowledge how precious life is and connect with our purpose in life.  \nWe are not alone on this seeker’s path to Liberation. \nREGISTER 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”).

SUMMARY:Unhurried & Unbothered: Yoga for Radical Restoration
DESCRIPTION:Cultivating deep awareness requires us to slow down.  There are many lessons waiting to be uncovered in silence\, stillness\, and slowness.  Unhurried & Unbothered: Yoga for Radical Restoration is an invitation to practice slowing down as the antidote for the violent pace of capitalism.  In each session\, the daily demands so many of us face to move quickly and do more will be greeted with the call to move slowly\, do less\, and treat our bodies and minds with great tenderness.   We will practices poses that are slow\, sometimes repetitive\, and restorative in nature. Multiple expressions of each pose will be offered and participants are invited to practice lying down\, seated\, or standing\, according to their own body wisdom and access needs.

SUMMARY:Loneliness\, Imperfection & Resilience:  A Buddhist-based approach
DESCRIPTION:with Mushim Ikeda  \nLoneliness is painful\, and seems to be on the rise despite the easy connectivity promised by internet and social media.

How can we stay present to the sharp edges of our feelings about the imperfection of our lives\, and mindfully build resilience\, self-forgiveness\, authentic connectivity and joy? This Buddhist-based approach will include reflective journaling\, experiential exercises\, mindfulness meditation (beginners are welcome)\, Dharma talks\, and discussion. Bring your kindest and most whole self.  \nREGISTER 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”). Please donate generously\, in proportion to your ability: \n* 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).\n* Or at the event\, in the two baskets at EBMC\, one for the Center\, the second for the Teacher. \nThank you for your generosity. EBMC will be only be sustained through our collective generosity. \nFragrance-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. \nEBMC is wheelchair accessible. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Dharma in Motion: Embodying Metta
DESCRIPTION:Embodying Metta: Yoga with Jess Dene Schlesinger\nTuesdays 6:00 pm – 6:50 pm / October 2 – November 27\n \nEmbodying Metta is a Trauma-Informed and Access-Centered Yoga class— invitational\, consensual\, and variations for differing abilities and access need are offered.  Connecting breath with movement\, we will work on developing lovingkindness for our complete selves\, reminded that all bodies and minds are perfect and whole as is.  Each class will focus on the accessing the vagus nerve (closely tied to our sympathetic nervous systems)\, gentle alignment\, and embodying resiliency and lovingkindness. \nDharma in Motion is a weekly offering of access-centered movement practices for all ages and abilities. Teachers and modalities will rotate every 5-6 weeks. Drop in format\, no experience necessary. Please wear clothing that allows for gentle movement. \nJess Dene Schlesinger began practicing yoga and meditation 17 years ago but found that most classes she attended were not accessible for her needs. With the support of Disability Justice activists\, she created Access-Centered Movement\, a trauma-informed framework that attempts to dismantle the hierarchy of bodies and minds. She uses her vast knowledge of physical therapy and holistic health\, her lived experience as a disabled queer\, and her intuitive and empathetic abilities to offer relief for trauma and pain.  Aware that the ancestors of the spiritual traditions she practices are not her own\, she is committed to decolonizing her practice and works to organize anti-racist white yoga teachers to do the same.  \n

SUMMARY:Embodying Resilience
DESCRIPTION:Based on the Leadership Embodiment work of Wendy Palmer  \nwith Paul Ciske\, Ph.D. and Anjali Sawhney\, MBA \nThis insightful work based on Aikido and Mindfulness principles allows us to see\, and hold with kindness\, our limiting habitual reactive patterns that arise\, especially when under stress\, while also cultivating a greater capacity for returning to the natural state of compassion and wisdom we call “Center”. \nAll this is accomplished through simple physical and non-physical interactive exercises that metaphorically represent ways we relate to others and ourselves in life and on the meditation cushion. The result is greater embodied awareness\, and embodied wise and compassionate action. (Note: alternative options are available for all physical exercises including those involving touch). \nEmbodying Resilience is a multi-class series held on September 22nd from 9:30AM – 5:00PM and September 24th\, October 1st and 8th from 7-9PM. \nRegistration: Registration is required and space is limited. Click HERE to register. \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”). Please donate generously\, in proportion to your ability: \n* 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).\n* Or at the event\, in the two baskets at EBMC\, one for the Center\, the second for the Teacher. \nThank you for your generosity. EBMC will be only be sustained through our collective generosity. \nFragrance-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. \nEBMC is wheelchair accessible.

SUMMARY:Unhurried & Unbothered: Yoga for Radical Restoration
DESCRIPTION:Cultivating deep awareness requires us to slow down.  There are many lessons waiting to be uncovered in silence\, stillness\, and slowness.  Unhurried & Unbothered: Yoga for Radical Restoration is an invitation to practice slowing down as the antidote for the violent pace of capitalism.  In each session\, the daily demands so many of us face to move quickly and do more will be greeted with the call to move slowly\, do less\, and treat our bodies and minds with great tenderness.   We will practices poses that are slow\, sometimes repetitive\, and restorative in nature. Multiple expressions of each pose will be offered and participants are invited to practice lying down\, seated\, or standing\, according to their own body wisdom and access needs.

SUMMARY:Dharma in Motion: Embodying Metta
DESCRIPTION:Embodying Metta: Yoga with Jess Dene Schlesinger\nTuesdays 6:00 pm – 6:50 pm / October 2 – November 27\n \nEmbodying Metta is a Trauma-Informed and Access-Centered Yoga class— invitational\, consensual\, and variations for differing abilities and access need are offered.  Connecting breath with movement\, we will work on developing lovingkindness for our complete selves\, reminded that all bodies and minds are perfect and whole as is.  Each class will focus on the accessing the vagus nerve (closely tied to our sympathetic nervous systems)\, gentle alignment\, and embodying resiliency and lovingkindness. \nDharma in Motion is a weekly offering of access-centered movement practices for all ages and abilities. Teachers and modalities will rotate every 5-6 weeks. Drop in format\, no experience necessary. Please wear clothing that allows for gentle movement. \nJess Dene Schlesinger began practicing yoga and meditation 17 years ago but found that most classes she attended were not accessible for her needs. With the support of Disability Justice activists\, she created Access-Centered Movement\, a trauma-informed framework that attempts to dismantle the hierarchy of bodies and minds. She uses her vast knowledge of physical therapy and holistic health\, her lived experience as a disabled queer\, and her intuitive and empathetic abilities to offer relief for trauma and pain.  Aware that the ancestors of the spiritual traditions she practices are not her own\, she is committed to decolonizing her practice and works to organize anti-racist white yoga teachers to do the same.  \n

SUMMARY:Embodying Resilience
DESCRIPTION:Based on the Leadership Embodiment work of Wendy Palmer  \nwith Paul Ciske\, Ph.D. and Anjali Sawhney\, MBA \nThis insightful work based on Aikido and Mindfulness principles allows us to see\, and hold with kindness\, our limiting habitual reactive patterns that arise\, especially when under stress\, while also cultivating a greater capacity for returning to the natural state of compassion and wisdom we call “Center”. \nAll this is accomplished through simple physical and non-physical interactive exercises that metaphorically represent ways we relate to others and ourselves in life and on the meditation cushion. The result is greater embodied awareness\, and embodied wise and compassionate action. (Note: alternative options are available for all physical exercises including those involving touch). \nEmbodying Resilience is a multi-class series held on September 22nd from 9:30AM – 5:00PM and September 24th\, October 1st and 8th from 7-9PM. \nRegistration: Registration is required and space is limited. Click HERE to register. \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”).

EBMC will be only be sustained through our collective generosity. \nFragrance-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. \nEBMC is wheelchair accessible.
