Roadmap to Liberation“Once you’ve seen it, you can’t unsee it.” The door to liberation is open and there’s no way to jam it closed again. that is, perhaps, the main reason most people don’t open it: we have a knowledge of an essential truth. intuitively, from somewhere deep in our bodies, we know when it is time. time to take ourselves seriously Time to take responsibility for ourselves: our choices, our behaviors, how we show up in the world, and to insist that we show up AS ourselves time to reclaim the parts of ourselves we have left behind for membership in clubs that, in the end, do not return on the investment of that great loss of your truth. Time to stop hiding, making excuses, shifting blame, kicking the can down the road. There will be 6 sessions — 1 Intro and 5 sessions for each pillar of the framework — held over the next month.In the Orientation session on Monday, November 1, people will be given an overview and assigned to pods that they’ll be with throughout the program.

Re-Emergence : A Return to BelongingHow can we go back to normal when “normal” is what got us here in the first place? After a full year of challenges from a global pandemic to the political upheaval caused by systemic inequalities within our society, we cannot simply go back to the way things used to be. If we do, more chaos is inevitable. Re-Emergence was created to support and guide you in finding your path toward a new way of living. We’ve gathered our wisest faculty and community members to share their knowledge and support you in identifying and working within your own unique role in collective liberation, healing, and well-being. In this lecture, Rev. angel Kyodo williams will reveal a rich landscape of insight, practices, and life tools to help us embrace what we’ve been resisting, recognize our own value, and support others from a place of genuine inner authority and freedom. From a place of imagining a world where we all belong, and where each and every one of us can be grounded and inspired to work towards making that a reality in our own way. “When you belong wholly to yourself,” Rev. angel reflects, “you belong anywhere you are.” Click here to Learn More...Read more...8 October 2021

Toward a More Radical Dharma w/ Fu SchroederCome explore what a “radical Dharma” really means in light of our aspiration to live for the benefit of all beings. This workshop will allow us time to speak openly and deeply about our collective pain at being separated from one another by perceived differences, not only of race but also of gender, ability, age, and sexual identity. We will endeavor to connect to one another through our shared commitment to the Buddhist teachings of ethics and compassion as expressions of the Bodhisattva Vow. Using the historical context, our own embodied practice, and a commitment to radical candor, our intention as leaders of this workshop is to explore the necessary conditions for creating an enlightened society for all together. There will be BIPoC breakout rooms during this workshop.
