Join Thanissara, Sumedha, Andrés, and guest teachers Lubna Masarwa, Deborah Eden Tull, Nadia Abdel Karim, Jilna Shah, Kareem Ghandour, and Gareth Fysh-Foskett for this upcoming class series hosted by Sacred Mountain Sangha.
Together, we’ll journey into the heart of the wound—through it and beyond—into the uncharted waters of the new world we are co-creating, ready or not. At the core of this offering is interbeing, and we’re leaning in—wobbly knees and all—to hold space for engaging with, practicing, and dreaming into the realities of now, with a clear eye on how we arrived here and a shared vision of where we long to go.
This vital journey of Dharma-informed practices is in response to increased political, social and environmental upheaval. Our spiritually aligned container will navigate the undoing of democracy and rise of systems rooted in domination while co-visioning liberatory ways of being & engaging. Rooted in Dharma, enduring spirit, ancestral wisdom, and somatic awareness, we will gather to build clarity & courage while shaping a collaborative vision for wise and compassionate transformative engagement & renewal.
Our four-part series is shaped by the movement of the Buddha’s four noble truths, from suffering to liberation. The four primary themes of our journey together are:
1. Seeing clearly in the time of collapse: From historical amnesia, fear and numbness to remembrance, grounded somatic refuge.
2. How did we get here? From transactional relating, stagnation, silence to life-force recovery, authenticity, courage, finding our voice.
3. Collective liberation: From separation, domination, despair to the cosmology of interbeing, empowerment, mutual care.
4. Co-creating a new story: From competition, hoarding, individualism, old oppressive paradigms to sharing, reparative justice, sacred service, systemic transformation.
During this collective conversation we will also explore:
1. Facing the inner and outer impacts of the collapse of the world we’ve known.
2. Embodied healing and liberatory practices for resilience, refuge, and transformation.
3. Visionary and sustainable strategies for collective strategic organizing and thriving.
4. Solidarity with those most vulnerable and those on frontlines in the struggle for individual and collective liberation.
Each session will include meditation, chanting, Dharma input, collective sharing, dialogue, somatic practices, and ‘homework’ to support the development of a collaborative vision and pathways of strategic engagement.
This series will meet for four weeks on Saturdays and Sundays for two hours from 9:00-11:00 a.m. PST (UTC-7) beginning June 7th.
All meeting dates include: June 7th, 8th, 14th, 15th, 21st, 22nd, 28th and 29th.
