Thank you for supporting East Bay Meditation Center.

10AM - 12PM Sunday, August 6th 2023Onsite at East Bay Meditation CenterAn on-site, half-day program for self-identified BIMPOC (Black, Indigenous, Multiracial, People(s) of Color) with Carol Cano, Antoinette González, Ramón Honea, and Andrés González. Join us for a morning of sacred reconnection: reconnecting with self, community, ancestors, our precious Earth, and our beloved spiritual home, East Bay Meditation Center. Over the past several years, we’ve endured much and all too often in isolation. During our time together, we will invite in the experience of ritual, earth-based practices, guided meditation, and a community talking circle to support us in returning to what we uniquely consider sacred. Whether that is our relationship to Mother Earth, our Ancestors, or the “Three Jewels” (Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha), we will explore what it means to reconnect with the sacred in our everyday lives.Following the program, we invite you to join us for a brown-bag lunch, 12-1PM at Snow Park where there will be unstructured time to further (re)connect with one another.This program is suitable for both new and experienced meditators and is open to self-identified BIMPOC (Black, Indigenous, Multiracial, People(s) of Color).Please note: With the intention of inviting sangha on-site once again at EBMC, this program will not be held in hybrid format; however, we will record core parts of the event to be shared with attendees and those who register to receive a recording-only following the program.

Space is limited &amp; registration is required. Cost: The teachings are regarded as priceless. So they are offered without a fee. You are invited to support the teachings and our efforts by contributing voluntary donations (the practice of “Dana”) for the expenses of the meditation center and the support of the teachers.To make a gift to sustain the work of <a href="http://www.eastbaymeditation.org" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">East Bay Meditation Center</a>, please do so via Paypal: <a href="https://www.paypal.me/eastbaymeditation" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">paypal.me/eastbaymeditation</a> or our website: <a href="http://eastbaymeditation.org/dana" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">eastbaymeditation.org/dana</a> 100% of our programming is sliding scale and no one will ever be turned away for lack of funds.
