Restorative Practices: Exploring the Gap between Intent and Impact

April 6, 2019 @ 10:00 am - 4:00 pm

with the Restorative Practices for Dharma Practitioners Sangha
Shahara Godfrey, Kimi Mojica, Jamilah Bradshaw, Jenn Biehn, Kevin Martin, Joan Lohman, DeNNiS SOmeRa and Ann Uyeda

EBMC’s Multicultural Agreements provide us with a guidepost to connect and communicate across differences of culture, identity, history, and power. Through attending to the gap between intent and impact, we can honor our needs, lessen harm, and create space for accountability and redemptive possibilities.

Please join us in inquiry:
when we or someone else acts or speaks unskillfully,
when there’s a break in trust or rupture in the sangha,
what might our practice invite us to do next?

We will reflect upon and explore strategies we have found and are seeking to unearth, and the lessons we have learned along the way.

Space is limited and registration is required. REGISTER HERE

Cost: There is no registration fee for attending this event, nor most EBMC events. However, EBMC is not independently funded.

* Or at the event, in the two baskets at EBMC, one for the Center, the second for the Teacher.

Thank you for your generosity. EBMC will be only be sustained through our collective generosity.
