Over the past 3 years\, Dr. Helen Weng has collaborated with EBMC to increase the diversity of meditators represented\, including people of color\, LGBTQI community\, people with disabilities\, and the fat community. \nDr. Weng will present the results of this exciting study – how her team adapted neuroscientific procedures to be more culturally-sensitive and inclusive\, and how individualized approaches to analyzing brain data can “read your mind” during meditation. Participants may share their experiences\, and we will continue to adapt research methods to honor diverse meditators. \nLight dinner is provided. \nSpace is limited and registration is requested.  \n \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:Tai Chi Chih – Joy through Movement
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Alphabet Dharma in Motion \nTai Chi Chih – Joy through Movement \nwith Jenn Biehn\, EBMC Tai Chi Chih teacher      \nDrop In Format\, No Pre-Registration Required.  \nA form of qigong\, Tai Chi Chih is a moving meditation consisting of 20 easy-to-learn\, access-centered movements.  Tai Chi circulates\, balances\, and gathers the chi or energy of the body bringing stillness and calm to the heart mind.   Practiced with softness and continuity\, these flowing movements can release tension\, negativity and stress leading to a sense of wholeness.  Qigong stretches will be practiced at the beginning of each class to prepare for this moving meditation. \nA Buddha Dharma Sangha practitioner and Tai Chi Chih teacher for the past 30 years\, Jenn Biehn loves including embodied awareness and healing movement as part of sangha building.  She has taught and practiced Tai Chi Chih (TCC) – Joy through Movement at City College of SF and to those healing from trauma in several community-based organizations.  An EBMC volunteer for the past 10 years\, Jenn is a member of Alphabet Sangha\, Midday Sangha Coordinating Committee and Restorative Practices for Dharma Practitioners.

SUMMARY:Power\, Presence and Healing: Black Women Honoring Our Wholeness
DESCRIPTION:A Retreat for Self-Identified Black Women of the African Diaspora\nwith Amana Brembry Johnson and Arisika Razak \nI think our notions of what counts as radical have changed. Self-care . . . healing . . . attention to the body and the spiritual dimension – all of this is . . . a part of radical social justice struggles. \nAngela Davis \nBlack Women have frequently resisted oppressive social norms by coming together to cultivate healing\, empowerment\, and mutual support. Join our daylong retreat of mindfulness practices\, storytelling\, ritual movement and wisdom teachings from Buddhist and other spiritual traditions as we affirm our bodies\, share our stories\, and claim our birthright as sacred beings who are loved and cherished. Participants are invited to bring an item to place on the community altar that will be built during the day. \nSpace is limited and registration is requested. \n \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.
