SUMMARY:Online: Knowing Our Bodies - A Buddhist Approach
DESCRIPTION:Online: Knowing Our Bodies – A Buddhist Approach\n \nwith Bob Stahl\n \nTuesday\, December 3rd\, 2024 | 7:00-9:00pm ET\n \n\n \nThese days\, we hear a lot about “being in the body.” But as a Buddhist\, what might this really mean?  \nIf we don’t learn to stay present in our body without clinging to our experience\, we risk reinforcing attachment to our physical self\, which can leave us feeling frustrated and stuck in our meditation practice. \nIn this two-hour online event\, teacher Bob Stahl will guide us through a unique Buddhist practice known as the Contemplation of the 32 Parts of the Body Meditation. Together\, we’ll work on understanding the true nature of the body\, reflect on its impermanence\, and discuss how to think about our body as made up of four primary elements: solidity\, liquidity motion\, and temperature.  \nThis practice is recommended for those seeking new ways to relate to their bodies.  \nAnyone who is curious about this special meditation practice is welcome to attend. \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! (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. \n \nVolunteering \nAll of our programs rely on volunteers to support our teachers and staff with various tasks and responsibilities. Volunteering allows you to participate in our programs at no cost. To inquire about volunteering opportunities\, please fill out our inquiry form\, and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
