SUMMARY:Half-Day Sangha Work Practice\, led by Linda Dekker
DESCRIPTION:“Work as meditation” illustrates how work is just as important a time for mindfulness practice as sitting zazen or walking meditation. In work as meditation\, there isn’t too much need for thinking\, planning or conceptualizing. While effort is made to do what we are doing efficiently and beautifully\, we needn’t hurry or worry about how much is getting done. In not rushing to get the dishes washed or the carpets vacuumed\, we have an opportunity to just appreciate the work for what it is—a thoroughgoing engagement with our life in the moment. \nWe will begin the day with a period of zazen; then pick up our tools with silent intention. Please join us\, and bring a bag lunch to stay for social time in our freshly cleaned center! \nTo register\, email zendekker@gmail.com \n

SUMMARY:Practice Circle: Acceptance & Respect in Community
DESCRIPTION:Practice Circle led by So On Jim Hare \nThe Three Treasures are the foundation of the Practice Circle: (1) the Oneness of Buddha\, (2) the Diversity of Dharma\, (3) the Harmony of Sangha. The circle itself is a container for being in the present\, manifesting just as we are in the truth of the moment. \nPractice Circle Guidelines (as adapted from the Zen Center of Los Angeles):\nWhen speaking\, we practice speaking from integrity and speak the truth as we know it. We stay focused on our own experience as opposed to taking about others or talking abstractly.\nIn listening\, we try not to interrupt\, even with our thoughts. We practice receiving whatever is being offered by another without attachments or judgements.\n In silence\, we allow all things to arise and pass away\, accepting and honoring different expressions and perspectives. We sit with our discomfort.

SUMMARY:Practice Talk by Doralee Grindler Katonah
DESCRIPTION:Peggy McIntosh\, in her article “White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack”\, describes white privilege as “an invisible package of unearned assets.” These advantages in a very deep way remain invisible to white people because they are built in to our way of life\, and we often mistake them for just how life is. White privilege and racism are reflections of each other.  We practice to liberate all beings…..addressing white privilege is our side of the coin which remains hidden from our view. \nDoralee will share her learnings and invite us to consider these insights through discussion and a guided exercise.
