SUMMARY:Trauma Sensitive Mindfulness Teachers

Let us reclaim our deep listening and deep seeing into shared humanity. Let us discuss cross cultural sensitivities at the junction of trauma and mindfulness. Let us recenter\, inquire and clarify what resources may be best to offer to our communities.   \n  \nMay this space be a home base for kindness\, curiosity and inspiration amidst the chaos. \n \nWe will meet on the 3rd Tuesday of every month @ 11:00 am ET USA\, which is \n\n\n5:00 pm in Warsaw\, Poland \n\n\n6:00 pm in Jerusalem\, Israel/Palestine \n\n\n7:00 pm in Abu Dhabi\, Emirates \n\n\n  \n\n\n11:00 am in Washington DC\, USA \n\n\n4:00 pm in London\, UK \n\n\nPlease use the conversion app for your time zone\, respectively.

SUMMARY:Mindfulness and Nonviolent Communication
DESCRIPTION:In September’s monthly meeting\, we will continue to explore the use of NVC tools and practices to lean into conflict engagement\, following on Kazu Haga’s Considerations for Conflict Engagement (the recording of his June MMTCP-AA workshop is available under “recordings of past events” on the alumni association homepage).  This month I’d like to explore Kazu’s consideration to “acknowledge multiple truths” as a follow-on from to my “nugget” post earlier this month.  We welcome participation regardless of your experience with NVC and love to see both familiar faces and new ones!  Please join us if you can!

SUMMARY:Brahmaviharas
DESCRIPTION:NEW POST ALERT! NEXT SESSION; Wed.\, Sept. 30\, noon-1:30 pm ET. Please note the ET time zone and plan to stay for the entire\, 90-min. session\, \n~~~~ \nFall is coming and I am savoring memories of jumping into huge piles of colorful\, crunchy leaves. The earthy aroma\, rustling sound\, scratchy texture and even the dusty taste are imprinted deeply in my brain. How do these memories reflect the Brahmaviharas? How do your memories affect your perception of life? What is real\, what is imagined or being transformed by the flow of perception? Did Fall mean falling in or out of love\, feeling empathetic joy or deep sorrow\, expressing compassion or frustration…embracing amazing feelings of equanimity or fragile imbalance? Let’s explore some deeper\, Dharma waters.  \n~~~~ \nBring your pen\, journal and curiosity to the next session. Please plan ahead and set an intention to join us as we plunge more deeply into the beauty and the mysticism of the Brahmaviharas! (image: (c) Anicca Series (c) Linda J. Hirsch\, 2026.
