2022-02-09 32 Parts of the Body Meditation: Discovering Freedom within the Body—Week 5 Large Intestines, Small Intestines, Stomach, Feces, Brain 52:24
Bob Stahl
Please join us for this 8-week “32 Parts of the Body” meditation class that has rarely been taught in the West. This practice will cultivate deeper insight into the true nature of the body and most importantly to help see through the identifications, conditionings, beliefs, and narratives – the erroneous view of self. It has also been used for healing illness. Various methods will be taught to strengthen mindfulness of the body and to explore the mind/body connection. Each class will consist of silent and guided meditation, chanting of the body parts and small and large group discussion. These teachings and practices will help develop greater clarity, wisdom, and compassion; and foster the depth of practice.

2022-02-09 Donald Rothberg and Yassir Chadly in Dialogue on Buddhist and Sufi Perspectives and Practices: A Gathering of Wisdom, Love, and Respect 66:34
Donald Rothberg
Yassir Chadly, a long-time friend of Donald's who is a Sufi teacher, musician, and former Olympic swimmer, originally from Morocco, is in dialogue with Donald, and then, during the last part of the session, with the whole group. We explore Yassir's background, the three main levels of practice in Sufism, practicing in Sufism with what arises in the heart, parallels between Sufi and Buddhist practice, how to make sense of how and why some act negatively in the name of a religion (we discuss Islam and Buddhism), the unity of traditions in their deep mystical expressions, and the need to work together across traditions in our current world.

2022-02-08 Vedana and Dependent Origination (Retreat at Spirit Rock) 62:59
Mei Elliott
The 12 links of dependent origination describe how we get caught in suffering. Through exploring 4 key links of dependent origination, we can come to learn how to be free and at ease regardless of how difficult or unpleasant aspects of life may be. By studying the vedana (feeling tone) of our experience we can learn how to break the cycle of suffering without reactivity.
