SUMMARY:ONLINE: Apranihita: Meditation as Radical Rest
DESCRIPTION:Daylong Program – 10AM – 4PM \nLabor Day Monday\, September 4th \nOnline over Zoom \n \nApranihita: Meditation as Radical Rest \nThich Nhat Hanh identifies apranihita (aimlessness) as one of three doors of liberation. In the context of capitalist culture that values people based on their productivity\, the practice of apranihita invites us to feel our wholeness\, worth\, and perfection in our very being. Our facilitation team brings lived experience of chronic illness and psychiatric disability in our queer bodies of color. This practice has been central for some of us in navigating the world at these intersections. We hope to share how the practice can support us in rewriting dominant narratives around “laziness\,” value\, and rest.  \nIn this daylong retreat\, we will practice aimlessness and explore a relationship with this form of radical rest. Our time together will include talks\, breakout groups\, easeful meditation practice\, and opportunities to reflect on what rest means for you and your community. All levels of practice and familiarity with Buddhism and meditation are welcome! \nTEACHER BIOS:\n \nemiko (she/they) was raised with the Dharma through the Western Insight tradition and began practicing Vipassana meditation as a child. Ancestrally\, she comes from a long lineage of Jodo Shinshu Buddhist priests. Seeded with Insight meditation\, steeped in the teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh\, guided by Kuan Yin\, touched deeply by Dzogchan\, and growing into Higashi Honganji\, emiko welcomes the many Dharma streams that flow through their life. They are a graduate of the East Bay Meditation Center’s first Spiritual Teacher & Leadership training and is currently a participant in the Sacred Mountain Sangha’s Dharmapala Training. She facilitates various sanghas locally and internationally\, and works to create Dharma spaces by and for marginalized groups such as sex workers\, and those disabled\, neurodiverse\, and/or chronically ill. As a mixed-raced\, mixed-Buddhist queer\, they practice holding contradictions with equanimity as they strive to co-create a more just and compassionate world. \n \nRahil Rojiani (they/them) is a queer\, genderfluid\, South Asian Ismaili Muslim\, and an abolitionist trauma-focused psychiatrist. Their Dharma journey is held in multiple Tibetan and Theravadin lineages\, including as a student of Lama Rod Owens. Rahil has been facilitating healing spaces and teaching meditation primarily for BIPOC and community organizers since 2014. With a particular love for element and shadow work\, Rahil is dedicated to the intersection of justice and somatic healing for collective liberation. \n \nGuangping Chu (all pronouns) is a student in the Plum Village tradition with the dharma name Playful Freedom of the Source. Meditation practice is an integral part of their healing journey\, which includes uprooting patriarchy\, singing to trees\, making reparations for intergenerational wealth\, navigating chronic Lyme Disease\, and generous amounts of play time. Guangping facilitates meditation in numerous spaces on land and online\, including Heartwood: A BIPOC Mindfulness Community.

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Tender Self-Care in the Midst of Pain
DESCRIPTION:An online daylong retreat with Deb Kerr and Kenji Oshima \nSaturday\, July 22nd \n10am – 4pm (Time Zone Converter) Closed Captioning Provided \n \nMindfulness and compassion practices are powerful tools to help us navigate what the body often offers to us\, including disabilities\, ongoing illnesses\, injuries\, aging or pain. In this daylong retreat\, there will be time to meditate\, practice simple mindful movement\, and share our stories in community with each other. We will explore how dharma practice can lead to greater ease in the midst of vulnerability\, and how freedom may be accessible when we can allow the truth of our struggles to be held by our natural compassion and wisdom. \n \nDebra Kerr has meditated since 1991\, and is influenced by both Vipassana and Dzogchen practices. A graduate of Community Dharma Leader training at Spirit Rock Meditation Center\, she co-founded and served on the board of the East Bay Meditation Center from 2000-2006. In addition to teaching and leading support groups for meditation practitioners around the Bay Area\, Deb teaches mindfulness meditation in assisted living and long term care facilities\, where she also works as a speech pathologist. \n \nKenji Oshima (Coach Kenji) is the graduate of 2 of EBMC’s yearlong programs\, Commit to Dharma and Practice in Transformative Action. As someone who has lived with CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) for over 3 decades he was on the team that addressed accessibility issues for East Bay Meditation’s move to Harrison Avenue and is a teacher in the EveryBody EveryMind sangha. Kenji is also a Life Coach and an Interfaith Spiritual Director. He has a unique perspective as a bi-racial/bi-cultural/bi-coastal\, differently-abled\, gay man.
