SUMMARY:In-Depth Trauma-Informed Satipatthana Sutta Study
DESCRIPTION:10:00 am – 2:00 pm Pacific Time\n1st Saturday of the Month – Online on Zoom\nDetails\nJoin us online for an in-depth trauma-informed Satipatthana Sutta Study\nFacilitated by Amma Thanasanti\n   September 2: Body\n   October 7:  Vedana and Emotions\n   November 4: Hindrances\, and Factors of Awakening\n   December 2: Four Noble Truths\nThis class series will use the Satipatthana Sutta as a guide to learn the Buddha’s teachings on the Four Foundations of Mindfulness and apply trauma-informed principles to these instructions. \nThis Sutta is highly regarded in all of the Buddha’s discourses because it contains a complete set of teachings designed for freedom.  As extensive and liberating as the Four Foundations’ teachings are\, when trauma is present\, it can interfere with putting the teachings into practice. \nEach class will have two 90-minute sections with a break in between them. Each section will contain\, guided meditation\, Dharma talk\, and discussion. \nAmma Thanasanti brings decades of experience studying and practicing a trauma-informed approach to The Four Foundations of Mindfulness. \nThis class is open to all meditators\, regardless of their experience with trauma. We will provide a safe and supportive space to explore these topics. \nThe sliding scale to register is $50 – 100 per class or $180- $375 for the 4-class series.  \nConsider your income\, assets\, and standard of living as you decide on the sliding scale to make what you give manageable and generous. \nOnce you register\, the recording will be available to you.

SUMMARY:Compassionate Witness
DESCRIPTION:The first Sunday of every month- reoccurring \nCompassionate Witness calls upon our shared humanity to embrace the complexity of our present time. We invite you to show up as you are. As facilitators\, we invite you to share\, ask you simple questions\, and see what happens when what you are experiencing is received with a loving presence. It is a simple yet profound way to receive community support. \nWe live in a divided and increasingly complex society. We are experiencing the effects of a global pandemic\, isolation\, climate chaos\, racial tension\, hate crimes\, political instability\, war\, disinformation\, and more. As some of us are feeling intense grief\, others are waking up to new ways of being and seeing and feeling more joy than they can contain. Sometimes both the level to which we have been tumbled and the newness through which we see all can use support to metabolize. \nHow: Compassionate Witness in practice\nWe begin with some basic guidelines to create safety and holding. Then offer a guided meditation to allow ourselves to settle. As we feel our bodies more\, that invites sensitivity to the vast array of feelings\, numbness\, joys\, and sorrows that may be present. We then make an open invitation for anyone to share what is alive for them at the moment. When someone is speaking\, we practice deep listening\, adding support and safety. An Awakening Truth teacher invites pauses and asks simple questions after someone shares until there is a natural place of completion\, acceptance\, and letting go. As one feels more at ease and settled\, we all are impacted. \nWho: All are welcome.  \nWhen: 9:30 am-11:00 am Pacific Time\n(10:30am-12:00pm MT | 11:30am-1:00pm CT   | 12:30pm – 2:00pmET) \nWhere: Online \nEvent details\nZoom link: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/2431979037?pwd=d1RIajNiZDgzU216V1pCNnRPMEVSQT09\nZoom Passcode: 082690\nThis community meditation support is offered without a registration fee. The teachings and the community are interdependent. Your donations make it possible to continue. \nThe poem that says what Compassionate Witness does:\nWhen was the last time someone saw you? \nOr cared enough to try? \n Has anyone looked past your guards \n Or held you as you cried? \n How often do you feel you matter? \n Safe to show your heart? \n Free to tell your truth\, \n be “too much\,” or fall apart? \n Have you ever felt true love \n with strangers you just met? \n And what if we can all be here \n with nowhere else to get? \n You think that you aren’t perfect. \n I plan to prove you wrong. \n Come sit with us just as you are –  \n In being\, you belong. \n – s.ness \n\nRegister Now
