SUMMARY:ONLINE: Turning Towards Our Body During a Time of Turbulence\, Suffering and Fear
DESCRIPTION:A four class series exploring the four foundations of Mindfulness with Vimalasara Mason John.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWednesdays\, July 15th\, 22nd\, 29th and August 5th   7:00-8:30PM PST  \nwith Vimalasara Mason John \nThe Buddha taught the four foundations of mindfulness as a way to gain freedom from the external and internal worlds that we live in. During times of PandemicS Covid 19\, racial and social injustices it is inevitable that many of us will flee the body\, switch all feelings of and run to the comfort of our thoughts\, and many other distractions. The hardest thing many of us will ever do is coming back to the breath\, to the body\, to feelings. If we want liberation we have to find a way back to the body. During this 4 week course we will journey through the 4 tetrads of the Mindfulness of Breathing\, working with the body\, feelings\, thoughts\, the nature of all things. We will cultivate metta to access the ancient practice of the four foundations of mindfulness\, to help us see more clearly during these turbulent times of pandemics and uprisings. It will be held with kindness\, giving space to anyone who would like to have a compassionate inquiry into whatever arises during the course. This course is for anyone who is ready to rediscover the elixir of the breath and the salve of loving-kindness. \nRegistered participants will receive a link to join us via Zoom with their EventBrite confirmation email.

SUMMARY:ONLINE: 4 Divine Abodes in Challenging Times: A 1-Day Silent Retreat
DESCRIPTION:with Rev. Liên Shutt \nAs we continue to endeavor in creating a just and liberatory world in these shifting times\, the teachings on the 4 Divine Abodes can help us stay centered and connected. \nQualities of Kindness\, Compassion\, Inclusive Joy\, and Equanimity can be hard to access when there’s internal or worldly turmoil. Practicing these Abodes as guided meditations helps us to know them — for ourselves and to be able to send out to others. \nJoin for the full day or come in/out as you’re able. There will be short teachings and 2 short meditations per Abode quality. However\, please try to TIME your entering/exiting to coincide with scheduled times to allow for the event manager to be able to participate also. \nNOTE: Teachings on each Divine Abode are only at the times marked. Therefore\, if possible\, please join at the beginning for the Introductions & 1st Teachings to get the full sense of how these are best practiced. ALL Meditations are visualized guided meditations. The 2nd in each Abode section will be mostly silent for your own personalization. Full schedule provided to registered participants. \nRegistered participants will receive a link to join us via Zoom with their Confirmation Email from EventBrite.  \n \n

SUMMARY:Honoring Our Ancestors: Telling the Truth and Reclaiming Our Wisdom for BIPOC
DESCRIPTION:for Black\, Indigenous and People of Color  \nwith Arisika Razak \nBased on who we are. . . what we’ve been through. . . how we survive and where we stand\, we are on . . . sacred ground. We stand on the backs of our ancestors. -Ava DuVernay \nHow are our lives informed by the actions of our ancestors – our lineage ancestors\, our art and activist ancestors\, and our spiritual ancestors? What can we learn from their choices and experiences – and how do we integrate the multicultural lineages of warring peoples that we carry in our bodies? How can our experiences of intergenerational trauma provide a foundation for individual and community healing and the retrieval of ancestral wisdom? Join us for a half day of storytelling\, dharma teachings\, movement\, and art in which we compassionately examine our diverse ancestral histories\, celebrate our multicultural heritage/s and create a new liberation story. Please bring writing and/or art supplies with you – as well as an object that represents your innate connection to Spirit\, the ancestors or your personal power. \nParticipants will receive a link to join us via Zoom with their EventBrite confirmation email.
