SUMMARY:EMBRACE Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Dear Plum Village Community\, \n\n\n\nEMBRACE brings a neuro-informed and trauma-sensitive lens to mindfulness as it is practiced in the Plum Village Community of Engaged Buddhism in order to support a resilient and harmonious community.  We do this by educating practitioners\, individually and collectively\, to gain deeper understanding of themselves and the practices through this lens\, so that they can derive the maximum benefit from the practice\, and address certain challenges that may arise due to a lack of understanding of the practice. \n\n\n\nWe will be hosting ONE EMBRACE Intro Workshop on:Friday\, September 13th\, 2024 from 2:00pm-3:30pm Pacific Time \n\n\n\n(that’s 5:00-6:30pm Eastern Time\, and 9:00am – 10:30am on Saturday\, September 14th New Zealand Time) \n\n\n\nThe Intro Workshop is an introduction to neuroscience and trauma informed mindfulness practice. Those who wish to participate in an EMBRACE Study Group are asked to attend this workshop or watch a recording\, which can be found on our youtube. \n\n\n\nYou can register for the Intro Workshop here. Afterwards\, we’ll send you the link and a google calendar invite. \n\n\n\nRemember\, either attending the Intro Workshop on zoom in real time or watching a recording is a prereq for the EMBRACE Study Groups happening later this fall. \n\n\n\nPlease let us know if you have any questions. \n\n\n\nEMBRACE CTC
