May Day of Mindfulness with Victoria Mausisa: Fierce Love — Resistance and Rest

A day for reflection, recovery, and engagement

NOTE: This Day of Mindfulness will be held at East Bay Meditation Center (EBMC). See details below.

With cruelty and injustice in the world running rampant every day, it can seem difficult to know what to do.

We invite you — activists, advocates, practitioners, and all who support the creation of a better world — to gather for a day of mindfulness at EBMC.

Our purpose, first, is to rest and recover our strength. If you have been protesting, come and let the sangha hold you for a day.

A second purpose is for mindful discussion about where we find hope, and how our actions might help realize our hopes.

Dharma teacher Victoria Mausisa will be offering a teaching, and other members of the NorCal Plum Village community will lead practices like sitting meditation, walking meditation, and eating meditation. Please bring a vegetarian lunch.

All are welcome!

East Bay Meditation Center is approximately 3–4 blocks from 19th Street BART in Oakland. Metered street parking is available, as well as at the Douglas Parking lot ($10.50/day) located at 1811 Harrison Street.

Participants will be offered to wear N95 or KN95 face masks, but face masks are not mandatory. 

Fragrance-Free: East Bay Meditation Center is a scent free / fragrance free space. To attend in person, you need to be completely free of fragranced body and clothing products.

EBMC is wheelchair accessible.

Opportunity for Dana:

We joyfully receive your dana/donations as acts of generosity and want you to know your presence is enough. For transparency, we are renting EBMC for $250 to host this day together.
