We recognize that anti-Asian acts of violence, stemming from white supremacy, patriarchy, and misogyny, are not new phenomena, and we are called forward, speaking loudly with one voice, to condemn it. It is important to acknowledge that one white male and one white female also lost their lives in the Atlanta attack — powerfully reflecting that ALL are diminished by racial violence and hatred.
We also recognize the complexity of this time, with the ongoing trial of Derek Chauvin for the murder of George Floyd, the murders of ten people in a shopping center in Colorado, and dozens of anti-transgender bills passing state legislation across the country. As cells in one Sangha body, we offer love and support to those grieving. As one body, we grieve together. As cells in the Buddha body, we practice transforming and healing violence within our individual, collective, and ancestral heart-mind bodies.
May all actions we undertake be done for the welfare of all beings. Practice with us online. Due to concerns about the spread of the coronavirus we have suspended in-person practice at our Dharma Gate facility. In order to protect the health of the community, we are meeting remotely.
Please join us at a Newcomer Orientation , the second Monday of each month. All donations are tax-deductible and grants will be made based on financial need. COVID has impacted our community greatly.
Not only has the nature of our practice together changed vastly, some of us have lost family members or loved ones. We have been financially impacted as well, through layoffs, furloughs or lost jobs and contract work.
Offerings include individual and couples therapy, mindfulness-based classes, community meditation groups and retreats. Our community meditations are every Tuesday evening from pm and Friday mornings from amam. This is a drop in group that is free of charge donations welcomed and open to those who have completed an introductory mindfulness class or have an ongoing meditation practice. Mindfulness is the gentle effort to continuously attend to and be present with our experience, as it is.
It involves greater awareness of thoughts, feelings, and sensations, without criticism. This allows for seeing clearly, whatever is happening in our lives, and creates an opportunity to step away from habitual, reactive patterns. Mindfulness is not about eliminating life's challenges, but rather responding to them in a more skillful manner, thus creating opportunities for greater freedom and choice.
Practicing mindfulness does not require any previous set of skills or beliefs. It is accessible to everyone, from all walks of life. Based on the scientific literature, mindfulness training has a growing list of benefits associated with it.
It feels more important than ever to stay connected to a community of people practicing together in a supportive environment. Thank you!
