In-Person: Celebrating and Embodying Mahajapati

with Wildecy de Fátima Jury
Friday, May 10th, 2024, 6:30pm - 9:00pm ET
Saturday, May 11th, 2024, 1:00pm - 5:30pm ET

Mahapajapati, the Buddha’s aunt who raised him, is as a symbol of wisdom, care, nurturing, and leadership—an embodiment of caregivers, mothers, heroes, and leaders alike. Despite her significant role as a great Bodhisattva, her story remains untold and underappreciated in many discussions even today. During this two-day program, we will delve deeper into the life of Mahapajapati, drawing connections to our modern-day experiences. Find out more

In-Person: Mindfulness and Mindful Writing

with Tracy Cochran
Saturday, June 8th, 2024 from 1:00pm - 4:00pm ET

This workshop will combine mindfulness meditation with mindful writing prompts to awaken sense memories and images. Inspired by ancient Buddhist teachings and other inspiring poems, quotes, and stories, we will practice remembering our own stories of wisdom and compassion. We will share our writing--or not--in a relaxed, nonjudgmental atmosphere. Find out more

Online: The Thinking that Stills Thinking

with Bodhipaksa
Saturday, June 29th, 2024 from 9:30am - 1:00pm ET

Our deepest meditations are often guided ones. It helps to have someone on hand to interrupt our mind-wandering and to bring us back gently, over and over, into the present moment. A skilled guide can also introduce us to new skills or remind us to tap into skills we know but have forgotten to employ. Find out more
