SUMMARY:Mentor-led Session | Carole Melkonian
DESCRIPTION:Led by MMTCP Mentors\, these sessions offer a place for you to bring any and all of your teaching and practice questions and to be in sangha with alumni peers.  In each session\, mentors will offer a short talk and then offer guidance and wisdom for whatever is coming up for you – much like we had in peer groups.   \n \nThis session will be led by Carole Melkonian and is from 7:00 – 8:15 pm ET;  the Zoom link is here \n \nMore About Carole \nCarole Melkonian has been practicing meditation for decades. In 1980\, she spent 4 years in residence at Zen Mountain Monastery under the guidance of John Daido Loori and then 12 years studying closely with Thich Nhat Hanh\, helping start his publishing company\, Parallax Press. She has attended many three-month Winter Retreats at Chithurst and Amaravati monasteries and dedicated all of 2015 to practice meditation at monasteries in England and America. \nShe draws inspiration most deeply from the nuns and monks in the Forest Tradition of Luang Por Chah and is especially drawn to the teachings of Ajahn Sucitto and former nun Willa Thaniya Reid\, with whom she continues to study. \n \nIn her meditation practice\, she emphasizes embodiment\, metta/loving friendliness\, and energy-based body work (qi gong and yoga). To the ebbs and flows of daily life\, she directly applies the liberating teachings of the Buddha. She encourages bringing faith\, curiosity and kindness to meditation practice and life. She lives with her partner Thomas in Portland\, Oregon.
