SUMMARY:Canceled: Celebrating and Embodying Mahapajapati
DESCRIPTION:In-Person: Celebrating and Embodying Mahajapati \nwith Wildecy de Fátima Jury \nFriday\, May 10th\, 2024 | 6:30pm – 9:00pm ET\nSaturday\, May 11th\, 2024 | 1:00pm – 5:30pm ET \nDo to unforeseen circumstances\, this program has been canceled and will be rescheduled for a future date. \nMahapajapati\, the Buddha’s aunt who raised him after his mother’s death\, stands as a symbol of wisdom\, care\, nurturing\, and leadership—an embodiment of caregivers\, mothers\, heroes\, and leaders alike.

Our exploration will include: \n\nAcknowledging and celebrating Mahapajapati’s virtues\, achievements\, and contributions.\nEngaging in thoughtful reflection on her acts of compassion and self-renunciation\, fostering the development of a bodhisattva mindset within ourselves.\nConsidering Mahapajapati’s profound wisdom\, exploring ways to integrate her insights into our daily lives for a richer understanding of the Dharma.\n\nThis program is designed to be a holistic experience\, incorporating meditation\, contemplation\, chanting\, writing\, and movement in ways that respect each individual’s physical capabilities. We’ll also engage in meaningful dialogues and share insights as a group. \nBefore you decide to join us\, please consider your ability to commit to the full duration of the program. We invite you to bring a journal for personal reflection.

SUMMARY:In-Person: Self-Compassion 101
DESCRIPTION:In-Person: Self-Compassion 101\n \nwith Gary Singer\n \nWednesdays\, May 15th – June 26th\, 2024 | 12:00pm – 1:30pm\nPlease Note: This course will skip June 19th\, 2024\n \nLocation: Still Mind Zendo at 34 W. 15th Street\, 3rd floor \n  \nCompassion is a cornerstone of the Buddha’s teachings. So then why do many of us have an easier time extending compassion to others than to ourselves? \nIn this course\, we’ll use mindfulness to investigate how we treat ourselves in the privacy of our own minds. Why does our Inner Critic tend to treat ourselves worse than we would anyone else? What stories might we be telling about ourselves and others that might simply be untrue? Can we stop the incessant comparison to others? Can we finally befriend ourselves? \nWith Self Compassion 101\, we become aware of difficult emotions\, recognize the common humanity in our struggles\, and accept ourselves with greater kindness and compassion. And the more we’re at peace with ourselves\, the more peaceful we are with others and the world. \nThis in-person course is open to new and experienced meditators. Between classes\, participants will be encouraged to engaged in meditation and other practices for 20 minutes each day\, between classes. \nBring your curiosity! \nRegistration:\nPlease register below. If you are able\, registering at the “Supporter” level enables others to attend at the “Subsidized” level. Thank you for your generosity! Early Bird pricing ends three weeks before the event. (Please note that the registration price includes a base level of teacher support\, and you will have the opportunity to donate more after the program.) \nIf you are registering via a mobile device such as a phone or tablet\, you can scroll right and left and up and down within the below form if it is partially obscured or cut off.\nCLICK HERE to open the registration form in a new browser window.
