I am but a volunteer, helping to bring this event to life. Please join me for this powerfully healing day.

From the event webpage:

Join us for a collective walk in peace and silence with the monastics of Deer Park Monastery in downtown Los Angeles. In the spirit of our teacher, Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh, each of our peaceful steps generates a collective energy that goes out into the world. Together we hold and acknowledge the suffering in the escalating violence and loss of life in over 100 wars and armed conflicts worldwide, including in Palestine, Israel, Sudan, Ukraine, and Myanmar. We generate compassion for the victims of discrimination, hatred, and violence, and also for the perpetrators who are also victims of their own pride, fear, and wrong perceptions. We will walk alongside our sangha siblings hosting peace walks the same day in London and Washington DC.

Bring a mat for sitting on the grass, sun protection, a packed vegan/vegetarian lunch, and water. Following the walk, the monastics will offer a chant to send our collective energy of compassion out to all the zones of armed conflict worldwide.

To reflect the vigil and contemplative nature of this event, we ask you not to bring any banners, flags, or placards. You are enough.

HEALING SPACES Workshop Series: Release & Transform

When our nervous systems get stuck in patterns of high overdrive (anxiety, fear, etc.) or shutdown (depression, chronic fatigue, etc.), we need simple, accessible practices at hand that can stimulate the cycle of rebalancing - of calming ourselves or energizing ourselves.

This workshop will take you through steps to recognize, stimulate, and reset your own patterns:

• Recognize your own nervous system’s physical/mental/emotional cues

• Stimulate calming responses (breath, movement, meditation)

• Stimulate energizing responses (breath, movement, meditation)

• Reset with a soundbath savasana

Bring a journal, yoga mat, and any props that you need to sit/lie comfortably.

Infuse your 2023 intentions with community love at this fun and creative, low-key workshop

Create something personal that can serve as a daily, visual reminder of:

what brings you joy

what motivates you

what you’re working towards

what you want 2023 to feel like

Supplied: multiple design/idea samples, poster boards, markers, color pencils, magazines, scissors, glue

Feel free to bring your own: more magazines, glitter, anything else you want to use

Our human bodies are hard-wired to constantly search for cues of safety. Our nervous systems are the first to respond to these cues, and affect how our minds and bodies react.

In this workshop, you’ll learn the basics of polyvagal theory and mapping to begin to understand your own patterns of response. We’ll practice accessible yoga and qigong-based movement & breathing for

stimulating energy (upregulating)

quieting energy (downregulating)

resilience & recovery (building new patterns)
