SUMMARY:Attachment Repair for Meditators Online Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Attachment repair for meditators\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBasic goodness is what the Buddha described as who we essentially are and our birthright to realize. Yet for many\, even after years of meditation\, this can be elusive. This talk will look at an overview of how our attachment formation may inhibit our ability to realize our basic goodness and the freedom it brings. This talk will describe attachment wounding\, how it happens\, the three pillars of protocol designed to repair attachment wounding\, and the reasons why attachment repair is particularly important for meditators. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe share a meditation\, followed by a Dharma talk and discussion.

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

SUMMARY:Introduction to Integrated Meditation
DESCRIPTION:​Introducing the Integrated Meditation Program \n​If you are ready to transform patterns that meditation hasn’t shifted\, embrace a life filled with love\, joy\, and peace\, and unlock the true benefits that meditation is meant to bring\, join Amma Thanasanti for this exploration. She will describe the life-changing impacts she has experienced and some of her student’s experiences from attachment repair work\, the principles of the Integrated Mediation program\, and the hypotheses behind it. \n​Amma has been meditating for over four decades. As a former Buddhist nun of 26 years and a Dharma teacher for over 25\, she had extensive meditation training in the Ajahn Chah tradition. Despite the transformative experiences\, a persistent core belief of unworthiness and an underlying sadness and basic fear remained. She will outline the 3-pillars that shifted these core beliefs positively impacting her health\, close relationships\, and resiliency. With her own experience of profound relief\, she is passionate about sharing a program that would make these changes available to you. \n​This class is open to everyone. No prior meditation experience is required. \n​Amma Thanasanti supports you in growing up through developmental stages\, cleaning up trauma and attachment wounding\, waking up to your essential nature\, and showing up fully to have authentic connections with others. She has been meditating for over 40 years. She was a Theravada Buddhist Nun for 26 years including 20 years in the Ajahn Chah Forest Tradition. She has been teaching meditation retreats internationally since 1996. \n​Decades of living in monastic communities showed her several ways that ending suffering required more than what was available from Insight meditation practices and ethical guidelines; particularly true when individuals were dealing with developmental trauma. She returned to civilian life in 2017. \n​Amma’s North Star is the truth where love\, pervasive awareness\, and the power of the land teach and support her every day.

SUMMARY:A Trauma-Informed Approach to the Satipatthana Sutta
DESCRIPTION:The Satipatthana Sutta or the Four Foundations of Mindfulness is regarded as one of the most significant of all of the Buddha’s Theravada discourses. It contains a complete set of teachings designed to integrate meditation into all parts of daily life\, promote balance\, and realize the end of suffering. Yet for many\, even after decades of practice\, we are not able to realize the potential that the Buddha promises these teachings can bring. Join us this evening as we look at different kinds of trauma\, how they limit our ability to practice\, and an overview of trauma-informed approaches to the Four Foundations of Mindfulness. \n​This class is open to everyone. No prior meditation experience is required. \n​Amma Thanasanti supports you in growing up through developmental stages\, cleaning up trauma and attachment wounding\, waking up to your essential nature\, and showing up fully to have authentic connections with others. She has been meditating for over 40 years. She was a Theravada Buddhist Nun for 26 years including 20 years in the Ajahn Chah Forest Tradition.

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.

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.

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.
