SUMMARY:Kapwa Flow: Dharma in Motion
DESCRIPTION:Led by Jessy Kondo Zapanta \nDrop in Format\, No Advance Registration Required \n“Kapwa” can be defined as “shared inner self”–the unity of “self” and “other.” Kapwa Flow invites you to embody what collective liberation might feel like\, alongside kindred spirits. Jessy will begin circle with a restorative grounding meditation\, followed by a check in to support access needs and individual requests. You will then be guided through a customized flow of dynamic movements\, self-focused bodywork\, and stationary practices based on your personal capacity. Since class is dependent on the combined needs of participants\, no two sessions are the same. All movements can be done sitting\, lying down\, or standing up. \nWith extensive education in bodywork/somatic/energy practices and deep intuition informed by their life experience as a Bay Area-born mixed person of color surviving traumas and chronic illnesses\, Jessy Kondo Zapanta brings compassion\, curiosity and mind-body wisdom to class. Jessy is no stranger to injuries and accessibility needs\, and hopes to create a nurturing space where all bodies feel welcomed.

SUMMARY:“Letting Go” with Forgiveness & Goodwill
DESCRIPTION:For Self-Identified People of Color \nwith Rev. Keiryū Liên Shutt \nImpermanence is part of life. We want “to move on” through wishing ourselves or another well\, yet it’s hard to do. The thought of “sending goodwill” is nice but it may seem insurmountable.\n\nThis 1-day workshop and retreat provides a gentle container to foster letting go of old hurts and pains. In the morning\, teachings\, exercises and practices on forgiveness are offered. In the afternoon\, we switch to a retreat format: engaging in guided meditations\, generating goodwill to specific categories. \n  \n* Please bring any form of mementos for those you’d like to generate forgiveness and/or goodwill to in these meditations. \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. \n

SUMMARY:Kapwa Flow: Dharma in Motion
DESCRIPTION:Led by Jessy Kondo Zapanta \nDrop in Format\, No Advance Registration Required \n“Kapwa” can be defined as “shared inner self”–the unity of “self” and “other.” Kapwa Flow invites you to embody what collective liberation might feel like\, alongside kindred spirits. Jessy will begin circle with a restorative grounding meditation\, followed by a check in to support access needs and individual requests. You will then be guided through a customized flow of dynamic movements\, self-focused bodywork\, and stationary practices based on your personal capacity. Since class is dependent on the combined needs of participants\, no two sessions are the same. All movements can be done sitting\, lying down\, or standing up. \nWith extensive education in bodywork/somatic/energy practices and deep intuition informed by their life experience as a Bay Area-born mixed person of color surviving traumas and chronic illnesses\, Jessy Kondo Zapanta brings compassion\, curiosity and mind-body wisdom to class. Jessy is no stranger to injuries and accessibility needs\, and hopes to create a nurturing space where all bodies feel welcomed.

SUMMARY:To Cherish All Life: Buddha’s 5 Precepts
DESCRIPTION:with Mushim Ikeda \nPart of EBMC’s Core Buddhist Teachings – 5-month Curriculum \nTogether we’ll safely take a deep dive into how to hold the questions and ethical complexities that arise when we grapple with trying to live in accordance with the Precepts. The Buddha’s 5 basic guidelines for peace and happiness are: Not to kill but to cherish all life; not to lie but to tell the truth; not to steal\, but to respect the things of others; not to commit sexual misconduct but to respect the wholeness of relationship; not to misuse intoxicants but to practice clarity of mind. Dharma talks\, contemplative journaling\, discussion\, interactive exercises. Meditation instruction provided for beginners. \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.
