December 18th Zoom Half Day of Mindfulness

                                             Community of Mindfulness/New York Metro   

Inspired by the Teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh 

and the Plum Village Community of Engaged Buddhism

 

Belonging to Ourselves and One Another: Practicing Mindful Connection
A Zoom Half-Day of Mindfulness with the Chrysanthemum Sangha, Saturday, October 15, 10AM-1PM EST

In this half Day of Mindfulness hosted by the Chrysanthemum Sangha, we will practice coming home to ourselves and to one another using mindfulness practices that center our relational brain. We will enjoy sitting meditation, sharings, touchings of the earth, and other contemplative, relational, and music infused exercises to strengthen our ground in the interconnected web of the present moment.
The Chrysanthemum Sangha is an LGBTQIA+-centered sangha in the Plum Village Tradition. 
We meet online every Thursday for an LGBTQIA+ safe space practice gathering, and every other Monday with allies to practice all together.

 Being Intimate

Developing closeness with ourselves, each other, and the natural world
A Day of Mindfulness with Dharma Teacher John Bell 

Sept 18, 2021, 10:00am -2:00pm on Zoom

Through meditation, songs, deep relaxation, and personal sharing, this retreat explores ways to become even more intimate—with our feelings, our bodies, our sensual experience, our family and friends, our neighbors, folks from other cultural or racial groups, the natural world, and the ultimate dimension.

  The day will be facilitated by John Bell, a Dharma Teacher who has practiced with the Thich Nhat Hanh/Plum Village Community of Engaged Buddhism for 35 years. John guides the Mountain Bell Sangha, near Boston, and serves on the Caretaking Council of the Plum Village Earth Holder Community,  and formerly on the  North American Dharma Teachers Sangha CTC and the ARISE Core Group (the Plum Village initiative on racial equity). 

    In his wide world work, John co-founded YouthBuild in 1978 and, until his recent retirement, helped guide its development into an integrated program that offers education, construction training, and leadership development to low-income young people in 260 communities across the U.S., and in 100 communities in 15 other countries. In all his work, he aims to combine three interrelated areas—social justice, emotional healing, and spiritual practice. John's writings on these various topics can also be found on his website, www.beginwithin.info.
