SUMMARY:The Dangers of Peace: Avoidance and Bypassing as Hindrances to Liberation | A Workshop with Kazu Haga
DESCRIPTION:As dharma practitioners and teachers\, part of our path is to support others in walking toward peace. Yet in a world shaped by pervasive violence\, our understanding of what it means to create “peace” can become distorted. How might our assumptions about concepts like peace\, safety\, agreements\, healing\, and accountability unintentionally create fragile or reactive spaces that replicate harm? And how can our grounding in the dharma help us cultivate containers that are not only genuinely safe\, but also resilient enough to hold challenges\, invite growth\, and move us toward the liberation of all beings?  And at a time when we are polarized and/or paralyzed by conflict\, this session will offer practical tools and strategies you can bring into your relationships and teaching.    \n \nThis workshop is from 12 – 3 pm ET; the Zoom link is here.  \n \nThis session is presented in collaboration with the Mindfulness and Nonviolent Communication Sangha; please visit the Sangha page for more information. \n \nMore About Kazu Haga \nKazu Haga is a trainer and practitioner of nonviolence and restorative justice\, a core member of the Fierce Vulnerability Network\, a founding core member of the Ahimsa Collective\, a Jam facilitator and author of Healing Resistance: A Radically Different Response to Harm and Fierce Vulnerability: Healing from Trauma\, Emerging through \nCollapse. His work weaves together spiritual practice\, trauma healing and nonviolent action to advance social change and move towards collective liberation.   \nHe has over 25 years of experience in nonviolence and social change work. He is a resident of the Canticle Farm community on Lisjan Ohlone land\, Oakland\, CA\, where \nhe lives with his family. You can find out more about his work at www.kazuhaga.com.

SUMMARY:Trauma Sensitive Mindfulness Teachers
DESCRIPTION:Facing Trauma in a Changing World \nAn international TSM sangha \n \nLet’s explore how trauma shows up in our communities online and in person and the skillful means that we need as TSM teachers and/or facilitators to be of help in stormy days. \n“Freedom is not given to us by anyone; we have to cultivate it ourselves\,” Thich Nhat Hanh. \n \nThis sangha provides a grounded and safe space to be present with your peers who share one simple yet profound goal: Peace in every Step (á la Thich Nhat  Hanh). 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.
