SUMMARY:Healing the Healer: A Daylong for Compassion\, Self­care and Restorative Practices
DESCRIPTION:With Melvin Escobar\, Louije Kim\, Kat Roubos\, David Shih­Chun Wu \n\n\n\n\nThis daylong is offered to those that are in service to others\, bringing together healers and caregivers to learn and re­learn self­care practices. The metaphor of “first securing one’s own oxygen mask before helping others” is foundational to being of true service. The facilitators of this daylong are professionally trained psychotherapists. We will offer strategies for surviving and thriving based on the timeless wisdom of the Buddhadharma. Through meditation practices and interactive exercises\, we will explore how to manage vicarious trauma and burnout to support healers in their own healing. \n\n\n\n\nRegistration: Registration is required and space is limited. Click here or the link below to register. \nhttps://eastbaymeditation.org/ebmcreg/?event=oct17healing  \nCost: There is no registration fee for attending this event\, nor most EBMC events.  However\, EBMC is not independently funded.

SUMMARY:Break through Denial: A Buddhist-based Approach to Death & Dying
DESCRIPTION:With Mushim & Rev. Tova Green\n \nBirth inevitably leads to death in the Buddhist view of life. Yet the closer this reality presents itself\, the harder it can be to accept and prepare for our own death and the death of loved ones. In breaking through denial about death and dying\, we might find\, surprisingly\, that beyond resistance and fear lies joy and everyday wise action. This daylong includes meditation (beginners are invited)\, Dharma talks on a Buddhist understanding of death\, and culturally-informed\, interactive activities around grief and loss\, as well as practical preparations to leave our affairs in order. \nRegistration: Registration is required and space is limited. Click here or the link below to register. \nhttps://eastbaymeditation.org/ebmcreg/?event=sept17lovingkindness \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.
