with Dharma Teacher Jo-Ann Rosen
Friday, July 19, 2024
4:00pm – 5:30pm
U.S. Pacific Time
Held on Zoom
Dharma Teacher Jo-Ann Rosen will offer practices for wise activism in alignment with the Engaged Buddhist path.
This free virtual workshop integrates neuroscience, trauma therapy and the Engaged Buddhism teachings of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh.
“It is a bit like activist archeology, digging carefully in the body/mind to find clues to healing ourselves and the world, where engagement and social activism is the vehicle” says Facilitator & Author Jo-Ann Rosen.
In this 90-minute Zoom workshop, you will:
- Explore the neuroscience of our body/mind and what it means to be mindful activists
- Understand and discern whether we have capacity to see clearly and act in mindfulness
- Learn practices that increase resilience
- Integrate 4 basic steps of right effort in readying for social action
This workshop is a part of our new Monthly Engaged Buddhism Series featuring Lay Dharma Teachers in the Plum Village Tradition. This series is for mindfulness practitioners around the world who want to learn more about engaged practice and how to build service-based mindfulness communities. We hope you will join us.
