SUMMARY:Mentor-led Session | Rio Ellett
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 Rio Ellett and is from 11 am – 12:15 pm ET;  the Zoom link is here \nMore About Rio \nRio Ellett (they/them) has been practicing meditation since their teens\, studying with the sanghas of Thich Nhat Hanh\, Spirit Rock Meditation Center\, and Insight Meditation Society during years of intensive retreat practice. They began teaching meditation to young adults and environmental activists in 2013\, and have since facilitated several sitting groups in Europe\, including LGBTQIA+ sanghas. In 2014\, they were ordained into Thich Nhat Hanh’s Order of Interbeing. They’ve been a MMTCP Mentor since 2021. \nInfluenced by their own experiences of disability (cystic fibrosis)\, trauma\, and queerness\, Rio is passionate about making dharma teachings accessible and welcoming to those with non-normative experiences\, as well as creating safe(r) spaces. Their teaching style emphasizes easefulness\, acceptance\, and simplicity\, as well as the practice of sangha and community building. They have roots in New Zealand and Germany and will offer groups in English and German. \nRio is a parent since 2022 and is finding parenthood to be the most challenging and transformative practice as of yet. They love tending their garden\, traveling\, being in the forest\, and not taking themselves too seriously.
