From their website:

“Please join Rev. angel Kyodo williams for a special Weekly Dharma Gathering featuring meditation and a discussion on “Radical Dharma: Why Your Liberation Is Bound Up With Mine.” There is limited seating, so please register in advance to reserve your spot.

In the face of today’s political and social unrest, is it possible to create a wise, kind, and strong human society?  Her book, Radical Dharma: Talking Race, Love and Liberation, has ignited a long-overdue conversation on how the legacy of racial injustice and white supremacy plays out in society and prevents our collective awakening. Rev. angel Kyodo williams will speak about how the collective process of waking up is closely related to the truth of interdependence.

In recognition of her work, Rev. angel received the first Creating Enlightened Society Award from Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche, lineage holder and spiritual director of Shambhala.”

Seeing Suffering: Embodied Practice

by Leave a Comment

angel Kyodo williams, SenseiThis evening follows up on the Saturday, October 8th talk, “Seeing Suffering: Four Truths to Save Your Life,” taking it beyond concept and landing it in the direct experience of embodied practice.

Rev angel will create space for engaging conversation and practice that disrupts limiting storylines and experiential exercises that help us manifest the liberating potential of the dharma through uncompromising practice.

Hands-on instruction will be offered to guide you to develop a deeper relationship with the suffering you inevitably carry in your own being, physically, psychologically, emotionally and socially. You’ll discover that you can access joy in the midst of suffering rather than remain committed to the delusion of “when things are different than they are.”

This evening is a rare opportunity to experience what Rev. angel calls Third Way Training: bridging training of the heart-mind with training of the body-mind. It’s a perfect introduction to the powerful Free Your Body: Oppression In the Soma retreat she co-facilitates later this fall.
