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.

SUMMARY:Seven Inner Treasures: Cultivating the Awakening Factors
DESCRIPTION:Deepening Dharma Series  \n \nIn this six-week course\, we’ll explore an important teaching known as the awakening factors with Regina Flanigan \n \nBuddhist teachings describe these seven qualities as priceless treasures because they are human capacities that\, when recognized\, appreciated\, and cultivated\, support well-being and the unfolding of awakening. \nTogether\, we’ll explore how to know when they are present or absent\, how they help us respond wisely to the mind’s balance between being energized and calm\, ways of strengthening them\, and their relationship to what are known as the hindrances. \n \nEach 1½-hour session will include a meditation based on some aspect of the seven factors\, a brief Dharma talk\, and space for reflection\, sharing\, and discussion. A simple\, concise study guide will be offered for each session.  Additional integration sessions may also be added. \n \nTo register and for information on each session\, please click here  \nMore about Regina \nRegina has spent over 25 years exploring the path of human healing and awakening. She earned her master’s degree in counseling from Johns Hopkins University\, where she began integrating Western psychological approaches with Eastern contemplative traditions. Her path has been rooted primarily in the Insight Meditation tradition and nondual wisdom traditions. \n \nIn 2019\, Regina completed the two-year inaugural Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program (MMTCP)\, led by Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach. She was mentored by Hugh Byrne at Insight Meditation Community of Washington (IMCW)\, where she is now a teacher and continues to support the life of the Center for Mindful Living Sangha. \n \nRegina has completed additional immersive trainings through the Barre Center for Buddhist Studies\, as well as a nine-month teacher training program exploring Nibbana with Ven. Dhammadipa.
