SUMMARY:ONLINE: Kingian NonViolence Mini Workshop
DESCRIPTION:with Kazu Haga + East Point Peace Academy  \nKingian Nonviolence grew out of the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King and is a transformative philosophy dealing with the transformation of conflict. Many forms of political resistance only deal with “fixing issues\,” while ignoring the need to heal relationships. However many healing modalities do not address the systems of injustice that perpetuate trauma. How can the teachings of Kingian Nonviolence be utilized after the 2020 election to continue to push for Beloved Community? \nThrough interactive activities\, the workshop will dispel many common myths of “nonviolence\,” and explore the interconnection of personal healing and political resistance\, and how to build a powerful movement that honors the dignity of ALL life. This workshop is a partnership with East Point Peace Academy. \nRegistered participants will receive a link to join us via Zoom with their EventBrite Confirmation Email.  \n \n

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Mind Full of Breathing: A Four Class Series on the Ānāpānasati Sutta
DESCRIPTION:Mondays November 2nd\, 9th\, 16th and 23rd 7:00 – 8:30PM PST \nwith Vimalasara Mason John \nThis 4-week course will turn towards the traditional four tetrads of the Anapanasati. The Buddha was teaching us to simply breathe through the experience of the body\, feelings\, mental formation\, and all dharmas. Together we will experience that while the world is constantly changing around us\, our body\, feelings\, mental formations and all dharmas are constantly changing too. This ancient practice has set free and liberated many beings from the prison of their minds and body. This teaching can bring us much joy\, and teach us to “cherish the dharma\, radiate love and live united” Dhardo Rimpoche. \nRegistered participants will receive a link to join us via Zoom.

SUMMARY:ONLINE: The Whiteness of Money: Transforming Suffering\, Moving into/toward Love
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, October 25th 2020 10:00AM -12:15PM and 2:00PM-4:00PM PST \nOpen to White Practitioners\, Limited Capacity \nwith Crystal Johnson and JD Doyle \n“What’s in it for me?” This is a key refrain of our conditioning into racial capitalism\, and white supremacy ensures that white people accrue a disproportionate share of wealth. According to the Buddha this is a recipe for suffering\, isolation and unhappiness. \nThe Buddha teaches us renunciation and compassion as the path toward happiness and freedom for all beings. This is a day for self-identified white people to practice together\, working to transform our habit-energies of craving\, uproot systems of white supremacy and move toward freedom\, connection and racial justice. \nRegistered participants will receive a link to join us via Zoom with EventBrite confirmation email.  \n \n
