Part of EBMC’s Core Buddhist Teachings – 7-month Curriculum

Everyone wants to live and be happy, yet human life is marked by suffering. Many are intimately and historically affected by social injustice, and we all experience loss of what is dear to us, sickness, aging, and death. How do we develop wisdom (insight) and spiritual strength (a practice that sustains us during the hard times)? The Buddha’s teaching of the Eightfold Path is a roadmap for a life well-lived. This class series will include meditation, Dharma talks, and discussion. Beginners in meditation are welcome.

Please note: Registered participants will receive a zoom link to join us online with their Eventbrite confirmation email. Thank you for your support

Chakra Tai Chi is a cleansing, empowering practice that includes easy-to-learn, accessible Tai Chi movements, visualizations, colors, elements, and sounds. This moving meditation brings the chakras – the vortex of energy centers – into balance and allows the energy to move freely. Once the energy is flowing in our bodies, we can each find our own process for healing, find our own body wisdom.
🌟 Movements offered both seated and standing

Join us in welcoming the spring season!
Co-led by Jenn Biehn and Rosetta Saunders who have been practicing this movement meditation together for over three years, co-creating various ways of presenting Tai Chi and Qi Gong.

ONLINE ONLY: Potions for Poisons: Heart Medicine for Our Times
with Melvin Escobar
Three Mondays: March 11th, 18th and 25th, 2024
6 – 8 PM Pacific Time

Buddhist teachings state that the primary causes of suffering are the Three Poisons of Greed, Hatred, and Delusion. Arguably, these three poisons are more widespread than ever in our world. In this 3-week class series, we will explore how these unwholesome energies can be transformed into potions of Generosity, Love, and Wisdom. Using meditation, interactive exercises, talks, and home practice, and drawing on contemporary psychological frameworks and an understanding of structural oppression, we will explore how these antidotes, when practiced, can help us live a more heartful and liberated life.

All registered participants will receive a link to join us via Zoom with their EventBrite confirmation email.

Melvin Escobar is a bilingual-bicultural Dharma teacher, licensed psychotherapist, and certified yoga instructor. He is a graduate of EBMC’s Commit to Dharma, and for more than a decade has served EBMC in a variety of roles, including on the development team for Resilience, Refuge and (R)evolution, a six-month leadership program for People of Color. He is a U.S.-born bilingual-bi-cultural Salvadoran who has walked the path of service for most of his life, drawing on his life experiences as a working-class queer man of color. Having encountered the priceless wisdom embodied in Buddhism and Yoga, he continues daily to learn the revolutionary potential of body-centered contemplative practices for personal and social healing.

Ceasefire! Practice for Liberation
2024-02-29 17:30 - 18:45 | East Bay Meditation Center, 285 17th Street, Oakland, CA, 94612, United States

5-class series, Thursday evenings
Feb 1, 8, 15, 22, 29
5:30 – 6:45 PM PST (Time Zone Converter)
Online, over Zoom

In the month of February we will hold space for the dharma of Palestinian Liberation. Across the world, people are rising up in support of Palestine. Many thousands of people gather every day, taking action in the streets, making calls and sending letters, organizing their people and communities, to practice with this call for land and freedom, for respect for life and self-determination, and an end to colonization and racism. We follow the call from Palestinians, Jews and people of conscience across the world who say “Ceasefire Now.”
These sangha ceasefire evenings will offer you support and belonging to continue your work for a meaningful and permanent ceasefire in Gaza. Through mindfulness practice with the full range of our experience, internally and externally, as well as sharing from the heart and working with the body to contact grief, anger and love with compassion, we intend to strengthen our community’s response to Palestine.
In the streets we hear the chant, “We are not freeing Palestine, Palestine is freeing us.” We know that the work of liberation happens at the individual, collective, and societal level. Our hearts are with Palestine at this time, with gratitude for what we are learning about freedom in taking action to end the genocide in Gaza. We welcome you to practice together in community with us towards this freedom.

Session Guide
Session One—Getting Present with Palestine
Session Two—Bearing Witness with Palestine
Session Three—Freedom Dreams with Palestine
