SUMMARY:Self-Awareness for Ethical Living with Sunil Joseph
DESCRIPTION:Sunil Joseph leads transformative groups in California prisons\, aiding incarcerated individuals to diminish their reactivity by employing mindfulness and emotional intelligence practices. Join Sunil to discover how these powerful tools can be leveraged to help us live in greater harmony with our moral and ethical values. Explore the profound impact that mindfulness and emotional intelligence can have on aligning our actions with our deepest convictions \nTuesdays\, January 2nd – 30th\n6:30pm-8:00pm \nThis will be a Zoom class only:\nZoom Meeting ID: 224-735-8115\nPasscode: 1234\nZoom Link: https://us04web.zoom.us/j/2247358115 \nNavigating a spiritual path often reveals a gap between our aspirations and the reality of everyday life. Despite our sincere intentions\, we may notice ourselves falling short in living true to our spiritual vows or core values. This could manifest in various ways – perhaps in the unkind words we speak to a loved one\, or in harboring resentments and momentarily wishing harm upon others. Such actions often lead to a cycle of self-judgment and shame\, reinforcing a sense of personal inadequacy or a sense of being flawed in some fundamental way. \nUtilizing the 10 Virtues of Buddhism as a reflective framework\, we will examine our values and how we align with them in our daily actions and thoughts. We will use the practices of Mindfulness and Compassionate Communication to understand\, rather than judge\, the parts of ourselves that seem to veer off the path. This approach offers a constructive way to view our shortcomings. Not as failures\, but as opportunities for deeper understanding and growth\, even as we strive for spiritual and ethical development. Together\, we will discover how to transform our challenges into stepping stones towards a more ethical life. \nwww.diamondlightsac.org/donate or “Diamond Light” on Venmo. Suggested donation: $10-$20 to cover expenses\, which include ongoing rent for our Center\, fees to provide online services and supporting our teachers. No one turned away due to lack of funds. \n\nAbout the Teacher: Sunil Joseph is a certified GRIP facilitator teaching a restorative justice-based healing and accountability program in California’s prison system. In 2021\, he successfully completed the 2-year  Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program offered by Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach to become a certified Mindfulness teacher. He is also a graduate from BayNVC’s 1-year NVC Leadership Program\, and has been using his non-violent communications training to inform his work with inmates in the prisons. Sunil was born in India and now resides in the San Francisco Bay Area. For more information about Sunil: https://myempathycoach.com/
