SUMMARY:Maha Sangha Dharma in Motion: Yoga for Healing
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Maha Sangha Dharma in Motion with\nJess Dene Schlesinger – Yoga for Healing  \nRather than expecting you to adapt to a fixed sequence\, Yoga for Healing is a trauma-informed and access-centered class that is catered to your specific needs.  Each class begins with a check-in  where you are invited to name your needs—with this knowledge\, we create a unique sequence\, offering trauma and pain support through dynamic and bilateral movement (shown to support our nervous systems)\, gentle alignment\, connection to the elements\, and energy work. Many of us become disconnected from our bodies as a result of trauma and pain.  Slowly and gently reconnecting with our bodies is a vital part of reducing these flare ups and\, ultimately\, healing.  \nJess Dene Schlesinger began practicing yoga 18 years ago in an attempt to manage the physical and emotional pain resulting from various disabilities and traumas. She found\, however\, that most yoga classes she attended were not accessible for her needs. Jess continued to practice yoga on her own and explored various spiritual\, psychological\, and physical tools for healing personal and sociological trauma. For three years she has been offering Access-Centered Yoga\, which combines trauma-informed language\, a Disability Justice framework\, and her lived experience as a sick and disabled queer.    \nDharma in Motion is a weekly offering of access-centered movement practices that facilitate an embodied experience of the Dharma and align with EBMC’s mission of being radically inclusive.  Teachers and modalities rotate every 4-8 weeks. \nDROP IN FORMAT.  NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY. \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. \nCost: The teachings are regarded as priceless; they are offered with no fee. You are invited to support the teachings by contributing voluntary donations (the practice of Dana) for center expenses and support of the teachers.

SUMMARY:Maha Sangha Dharma in Motion: Yoga for Healing
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Maha Sangha Dharma in Motion with\nJess Dene Schlesinger – Yoga for Healing  \nRather than expecting you to adapt to a fixed sequence\, Yoga for Healing is a trauma-informed and access-centered class that is catered to your specific needs.  Each class begins with a check-in  where you are invited to name your needs—with this knowledge\, we create a unique sequence\, offering trauma and pain support through dynamic and bilateral movement (shown to support our nervous systems)\, gentle alignment\, connection to the elements\, and energy work. Many of us become disconnected from our bodies as a result of trauma and pain.  Slowly and gently reconnecting with our bodies is a vital part of reducing these flare ups and\, ultimately\, healing.  \nJess Dene Schlesinger began practicing yoga 18 years ago in an attempt to manage the physical and emotional pain resulting from various disabilities and traumas. She found\, however\, that most yoga classes she attended were not accessible for her needs. Jess continued to practice yoga on her own and explored various spiritual\, psychological\, and physical tools for healing personal and sociological trauma. For three years she has been offering Access-Centered Yoga\, which combines trauma-informed language\, a Disability Justice framework\, and her lived experience as a sick and disabled queer.    \nDharma in Motion is a weekly offering of access-centered movement practices that facilitate an embodied experience of the Dharma and align with EBMC’s mission of being radically inclusive.  Teachers and modalities rotate every 4-8 weeks. \nDROP IN FORMAT.  NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY. \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. \nCost: The teachings are regarded as priceless; they are offered with no fee. You are invited to support the teachings by contributing voluntary donations (the practice of Dana) for center expenses and support of the teachers.

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Multiracial Peer-Led Deep Refuge Group
DESCRIPTION:The Multiracial Deep Refuge Group is a monthly exploratory Deep Refuge Group for and by people who identify as multiracial. Our meetings include periods of mindfulness meditation and sharing of narratives and perspectives as we come together to be seen and to see one another. By sitting and exploring our own unique stories\, we can come to know and care for the common threads that bind us together. Our collective work bravely expands the narrative that informs multiracial experience today. Meets 7pm-9pm on the second Saturdays of every month. Online and occasionally hybrid (in-person at EBMC + online). \nNewcomers welcome- please contact us before your first visit: mrdrcoordinators at googlegroups dot com

SUMMARY:Maha Sangha Dharma in Motion: Yoga for Healing
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Maha Sangha Dharma in Motion with\nJess Dene Schlesinger – Yoga for Healing  \nRather than expecting you to adapt to a fixed sequence\, Yoga for Healing is a trauma-informed and access-centered class that is catered to your specific needs.  Each class begins with a check-in  where you are invited to name your needs—with this knowledge\, we create a unique sequence\, offering trauma and pain support through dynamic and bilateral movement (shown to support our nervous systems)\, gentle alignment\, connection to the elements\, and energy work. Many of us become disconnected from our bodies as a result of trauma and pain.  Slowly and gently reconnecting with our bodies is a vital part of reducing these flare ups and\, ultimately\, healing.  \nJess Dene Schlesinger began practicing yoga 18 years ago in an attempt to manage the physical and emotional pain resulting from various disabilities and traumas. She found\, however\, that most yoga classes she attended were not accessible for her needs. Jess continued to practice yoga on her own and explored various spiritual\, psychological\, and physical tools for healing personal and sociological trauma. For three years she has been offering Access-Centered Yoga\, which combines trauma-informed language\, a Disability Justice framework\, and her lived experience as a sick and disabled queer.    \nDharma in Motion is a weekly offering of access-centered movement practices that facilitate an embodied experience of the Dharma and align with EBMC’s mission of being radically inclusive.  Teachers and modalities rotate every 4-8 weeks. \nDROP IN FORMAT.  NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY. \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. \nCost: The teachings are regarded as priceless; they are offered with no fee. You are invited to support the teachings by contributing voluntary donations (the practice of Dana) for center expenses and support of the teachers.
