SUMMARY:Online: Grounding and Connection with Sunil Joseph
DESCRIPTION:Since PD (Physical Distancing)\, I find it nourishing to pause\, ground and connect with others online. The sense of dropping in with ourselves\, others and feeling our shared humanity can feel soothing and restorative. I would like to think we are engaging our Social Nervous System through these practices.http://www.boazfeldman.com/EN/Links_files/PORGES%20Polyvagal_Theory.pdf \nIn the first hour of this event\, I will be offering a 30 – 45 minute guided meditation for grounding and arriving in the present. I am in a Mindfulness Meditation teacher training program with Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield. I will be sharing primarily from that stream. We will have some time after the meditation to hear from each other.In the second hour of the event\, I will offer a 30-minute session on connecting with our feelings and needs based on Marshall Rosenberg’s NVC process. It is a chance to connect with our hearts to find what would really nourish us right now. \nWe will use these documents for the NVC exercise.https://www.cnvc.org/training/resource/feelings-inventoryhttps://www.cnvc.org/training/resource/needs-inventory \nI will be closing the Zoom room 5 minutes after the event starts to avoid disruptions to the group. Feel free to drop after the meditation. If something I offer does not work for you\, you are encouraged to adapt/modify it to fit what you need. Thank you for being a part of this experiment! \nIf you can make a donation ($5 – $20) with ease and joy\, please contribute to my favorite sangha – \nhttps://www.diamondlightsac.org/donate/ \nThey are a volunteer-run sangha with a big heart.

SUMMARY:Online: Grounding and Connection with Sunil Joseph
DESCRIPTION:Since PD (Physical Distancing)\, I find it nourishing to pause\, ground and connect with others online. The sense of dropping in with ourselves\, others and feeling our shared humanity can feel soothing and restorative. I would like to think we are engaging our Social Nervous System through these practices.http://www.boazfeldman.com/EN/Links_files/PORGES%20Polyvagal_Theory.pdf \nIn the first hour of this event\, I will be offering a 30 – 45 minute guided meditation for grounding and arriving in the present. I am in a Mindfulness Meditation teacher training program with Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield. I will be sharing primarily from that stream. We will have some time after the meditation to hear from each other.In the second hour of the event\, I will offer a 30-minute session on connecting with our feelings and needs based on Marshall Rosenberg’s NVC process. It is a chance to connect with our hearts to find what would really nourish us right now. \nWe will use these documents for the NVC exercise.https://www.cnvc.org/training/resource/feelings-inventoryhttps://www.cnvc.org/training/resource/needs-inventory \nI will be closing the Zoom room 5 minutes after the event starts to avoid disruptions to the group. Feel free to drop after the meditation. If something I offer does not work for you\, you are encouraged to adapt/modify it to fit what you need. Thank you for being a part of this experiment! \nIf you can make a donation ($5 – $20) with ease and joy\, please contribute to my favorite sangha – \nhttps://www.diamondlightsac.org/donate/ \nThey are a volunteer-run sangha with a big heart.

SUMMARY:Mindfulness for Dark Times with Sunil Joseph
DESCRIPTION:Tuesdays September 22-October 13 6:30pm-8:30pm \nWe are entering winter with multiple challenges at play including a pandemic\, isolation\, fatigue\, loss of loved ones\, work\, political uncertainty\, social justice reckoning\, seasonal affective disorder\, etc. How do we hold our hearts with care as we travel through this winter? How do we find connection and belonging when we need to be physically distant? In this course\, we will use Mindfulness practices to ground and nourish ourselves. We will create a space of respectful listening wherein each of our hearts can show up exactly as they are. \nEach event will be a combination of a guided meditation to deepen our presence and mindful listening to connect with each other. In the words of Rachel Naomi Remen – “The most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention..A loving silence often has far more power to heal and to connect than the most well-intentioned words.” \nThis event is offered for free. Many of us are going through financial difficulties right now. Any donation you can make without hardship ($10-$20 ) will help us cover ongoing rent for our Center\, fees to provide online services\, and supporting our teachers. Thank you.\nwww.diamondlightsac.org/donate\n–OR–\nVenmo “Diamond Light”\n–OR–\nwww.paypal.com/biz/fund?id=NMYP6MK36UBCS \nClick on the Zoom link to join: https://us04web.zoom.us/j/2247358115 \nAbout Sunil Joseph: Sunil has been a student of Compassionate Communication since 2004.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Buddhist Meditation with Marc Ross
DESCRIPTION:Introduction to Buddhist Meditation\nTuesdays\, January 19 to February 23\n6:30pm-8:30pm PDT\nThe benefits of meditation are vast. It calms the mind and is the foundation for every spiritual realization. Meditating 5 minutes a day and more can change our brains\, our minds and our view of the world we live in.\nBuddhist meditation is part of a tradition of techniques that go back at least 5\,000 years. Like any other skill\, proper technique makes meditation easier\, more productive and saves you a lot of time. This class is perfect for those who are new to meditating and would like an introduction to the fundamental practices: posture\, types of meditation\, progressive stages of meditation and how to develop a meditation practice. Each class will have teaching\, discussions\, and practice. \nClass materials: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/13UMpXdecyTVanhtJkzfASZARQaG0fP0h?usp=sharing \nMarc Bio:\nI was born in 1955 and raised as a Roman Catholic. For most of my young adult life did not follow a spiritual path. I fell in love with yoga in the early 1990’s and was certified as a yoga instructor in the Iyengar tradition. Through yoga I found Buddhism\, and had a deep attraction to the lineages of Tibetan Buddhism. I have been a practicing Buddhist since that time. My root teacher is Alan Wallace\, who I have had an easy\, natural connection with since meeting him in 2013. I have been blessed with the opportunity to teach meditation both in the US and in Europe.\nProfessionally I have practiced as a chiropractor and body worker for over 40 years\, and am blessed with work that is a spiritual path. \nOnline ; Donation-based\nZoom Meeting ID: 224-735-8115\nhttps://us04web.zoom.us/j/2247358115\nSuggested donation: $10-:$20 to cover expenses\, which include ongoing rent for our Center\, fees to provide online services and supporting our teachers\nNo one turned away due to lack of funds.\nTo donate: www.diamondlightsac.org/donate or search “Diamond Light” on Venmo or Paypal
