SUMMARY:Nourishing Our Relationship to Practice
DESCRIPTION:with Larry Yang and Max Airborne \nHow are we relating to our practice? Do we feel the beauty and kindness of practice? Do we relate to it with impatience\, self-criticism\, boredom or obligation? Why do we practice? Does our practice resemble our life\, or does it feel separate from it? \nIn this daylong for people who have some experience with Dharma practice\, we’ll look deeply at wise relationship to practice. Like any relationship\, the relationship we have with our practice needs care and feeding. Let’s explore how to bring kindness\, juiciness and aliveness to this important relationship\, to create the best possible conditions for deepening our freedom. \nRegistration: Registration is required and space is limited.

SUMMARY:Free Your Heart: Transformational Workshop for Exploring Love

The workshop will include powerful interactive group processes\, periods of meditation\, sacred music\, movement\, and group discussion. \nRegistration: Registration is required and space is limited.

SUMMARY:Death and Rebirth: A Shamanic Perspective
DESCRIPTION:Mondays: June 6\, 13\, 20\, 2016\n7:00 – 9:00 pm \nwith Spring Washam \nAs we courageously walk forward on our spiritual path\, we all eventually experience what is called “a spiritual death”.  It is a transformative process followed by a beautiful rebirth. Like a snake shedding its old skin\, this is a profound and necessary part of our spiritual growth. Dying is the process of letting go of habits\, beliefs\, relationships and certain emotional patterns that no longer support us. This stage of our journey can bring up fear\, sorrow and uncertainty\, and at times it can feel like a spiritual emergency instead of a glorious rebirth. In this class series\, we will explore the archetypal theme of death and rebirth from a Buddhist\, mythological and shamanic perspective. \nRegistration: Registration is required and space is limited. Click here or the link below to register. \nhttp://eastbaymeditation.org/ebmcreg/?event=june16rebirth \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. \nEBMC is wheelchair accessible.
