SUMMARY:Mindfulness for Dark Times with Sunil Joseph
DESCRIPTION:Tuesdays 6:30 pm- 8:30 pm\nDecember 6\, December 13\, December 20\, December 27 \nClick on the Zoom link to join: https://us04web.zoom.us/j/2247358115 \nThe beginning of winter can be challenging with the time change bringing darkness early in the evenings\, the shortening of daylight hours\, colder weather\, and a shift in our rhythms as nature slows down around us. How do we hold our hearts with care as we travel through this winter? How do we find connection and belonging while caving at home? \nEach session will be a combination of body awareness meditations and felt-sense listening practices to slow down and invite the grace/mystery that allows things to be as they are. Body awareness can withdraw energy from our busy\, stimulated minds to help us find the open space of the present moment. \nIn 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. We welcome donations you can make without hardship ($10-$20 ). This 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 \nAbout Sunil Joseph: Sunil has been a student of Compassionate Communication since 2004. He graduated from BayNVC’s NVC Leadership Training in 2008. Sunil is also a certified Mindfulness Teacher. He facilitates healing and accountability programs for men incarcerated in California’s prisons. Website: myempathycoach.com.

SUMMARY:Tai Chi with Anand Parikshak
DESCRIPTION:Join Anand for an evening class on the Inner Alchemy of Tai Chi Chuan. During the class\, we will meditate\, practice qigong\, and explore the first movements of the Cinnabar Style Tai Chi Form. This form is modified from the Yang Family form (108) as taught by the late Master Wang and is oriented to the opening\, distilling\, and empowering of the subtle body. \nIn the words of the main teacher of the style:  “To the ancestors of Tao alchemy\, Tai Chi merges the vast vitality of Yin with the great persevering initiative of Yang. Out of this coupling\, the Neutral Space\, vessel\, womb or temporal-celestial cauldron emerges\, where our immortal fetus is born.” \nClass will be held on December 29th from 6 pm- 8:30 pm.  Cost $35\, no one turned away for lack of funds.\nAt Diamond Light Meditation Center: 2791 24th Street Room 14 (upstairs)\, Sacramento CA 95818\nIn person only \nThose who are attending the New Years retreat\, consider this an optional event to help open and relax your body for the following days of deep internal work.  \nYou can sign up for the class at the following link: https://calendly.com/d/g4j-488-dn3/inner-alchemy-of-tai-chi \nYou can still register for the New Year’s Retreat to attend virtually here: https://bookwhen.com/diamondlightsac/e/ev-s71r-20221230000000
