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.

The Center and the teachers will be sustained only by your voluntary donations (the practice of generous giving\, or “dana”).

SUMMARY:Visibility Movement & Meditation Gathering: A Practice for Men of Color
DESCRIPTION:With EBMC’s Men of Color Deep Refuge Group \nHave you explored the benefits of collective movement meditation practices? \nThis half daylong explores the benefits of cultivating movement meditation practices in a peer-led deep practice container. This event is designed to explore our fears and desires of being witnessed\, publicly\, as individual and collective bodies. In our supportive community\, we will explore ways community movement practices increase the sustainability of healing for self-identified Men of Color by making the invisible\, visible. We encourage practitioners to challenge their mindfulness practices by witnessing this journey and partaking in the collective wisdom of the Men of Color community for the benefit of all beings. \nTogether\, we will follow a pre-determined route for our movement practice\, and will honor community dialogue\, and brief sitting meditation periods to facilitate our time together. This event is designed to be inclusive of all self-identified men of color regardless of sexuality\, gender expression\, and/or physical ability. We value our intersectional identities and we hope that you will join us for this community event! \nRegistration: Registration is required and space is limited. Click here or the link below to register. \nhttps://apr17mocwalk.eventbrite.com \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)\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. \n  EBMC is wheelchair accessible.

SUMMARY:Letting Go of the Past
DESCRIPTION:With Spring Washam\n \nLearning to let go and live in the moment is at the very heart of the spiritual path. Everything can be summed up into these two words\, “Let go”. We long for serenity but this only comes from making peace with the past. To transform our lives we have to be willing to say goodbye to the old chains and prisons\, and step into the light. We can learn to drop all the resentments\, stories\, hatred and suffering through forgiveness\, compassion and letting go. This is an excellent daylong for all those who feel energetically stuck in the past and are unable to break free and move forward. This special daylong will include meditation\, talks on themes of the day\, sacred music and a ritual to help us let go. \nRegistration: Registration is required and space is limited. Click here or the link below to register. \nhttp://eastbaymeditation.org/ebmcreg/?event=apr17lettinggo \nCost: There is no registration fee for attending this event\, nor most EBMC events.  However\, EBMC is not independently funded.
