Cultivating Deep Togetherness - Even When We Feel Disconnected
Join us on our weekly Monday night meditation to hear from Sandra Kim. Sandra is the Founder and Training Director of Re-Becoming Human and Founder and President of Everyday Feminism. Learn more about Sandra here.
We can often be caught in the tension of both longing for deep connection with others and struggling to embrace the emotional vulnerability and intimacy necessary to together.
Sandra Kim will share how her practice has helped her care for the pain of disconnection with others and look deeply at its underlying source. Weaving together her Buddhist practice, anti-oppression analysis, and organizing work, she will share how she is able to consistently reconnect with herself and others and develop the deep togetherness we often long for.
Webinar #4
The final video call of our Indigenous series will be a dharma sharing format, and will allow you to share your feelings, thoughts, impressions, etc., about Indigenous communities. Even if you did not attend the previous webinars, you are welcome to join the discussion. All are invited to bring up issues from the previous calls, and / or from our own experiences, to spark conversations and discussions.
Making visible is a free webinar program supported by the Thich Nhat Hanh Foundation, based in California, along with the Opening Heart Mindfulness Community in Washington, DC. This is a time for mindful questions and answers and sharing.
The OHMC Care & Support Network (C&S) is designed to be a network of helpers to assist members within our Sangha who are going through a challenging time, be it the loss of a loved one, illness, depression or something else. We want to continue to grow and provide our practitioner community with the love and practical support that they may need at some point in their lives. This may translate into offering a ride to go to a doctor’s appointment, helping with households tasks, preparing a dinner or simply sharing a cup of tea in times in need.
Please note that there is no obligation to respond to a request for help, it depends on your availability at that moment. If you are interested in being a part of this group, please join us for a potluck gathering in the house of a fellow practitioner in the vicinity of Circle Yoga. We will send you the details once you register. For the first half of our time together we will socialize and share a meal, then we will discuss some ideas on how to be there for others and build community within the Sangha.
Once you register, we will send you additional information and directions to your email. If you are interested in joining the group but are unable to come to the potluck, please email Ronnie Biemans at ronnie.biemans@gmail.com so you are kept in the loop.
We hope you can join us!
**Please note there are only 25 seats for this potluck meeting.
Join us on our weekly Monday night meditation to hear from one of the Plum Village monastics, Brother Phap Vu. Because of our guest, our evening will extend to 8:45 pm instead of 8:30
Phap Vu describes himself:
Who is this Phap Vu? – I'm still working on that one. Nonetheless, I was born in Chicago, Illinois but spent most of my life in Southern California. I began my practice in the Dharma through the Chinese Chan tradition in the mid 90's. It was through my experience practicing at a local temple that I was inspired to nudge in the direction of monastic life. Eventually, in 2003 I was ordained by Venerable Master Thich Nhat Hanh in Plum Village, with the name Thich Chan Phap Vu. In 2011, I was ordained as a Dharma Teacher. Presently, I am still committed to the monastic path, delving into Buddhist psychology as well as Buddhist history. I am also still committed to connecting with people and communities, helping them along their path if I'm able.

Every January, all the sanghas in the Washington DC metro area come together in Fairfax to formally practice the Five Mindfulness Trainings under Thich Nhat Hanh. This is a great way to come back to yourself after the busyness of the holidays. When we sit and practice the trainings together as a community, we will find compassion for ourselves and others with more ease.
Even if you haven’t practiced before, we especially encourage you to come since our sangha events are always designed for a feeling of being welcomed, safe and comfortable, regardless of your experience.
We at Opening Heart are grateful to be a part of such an invaluable event in mindfulness. Please join us in building and strengthening our practice together.

This week Annie will invite the bell for dharma teacher Shantum Seth who will speak to us about the life and teachings of the Buddha. Shantum's full bio is below. You can listen to him talk about his Buddhist journey here.
Shantum leads tours of the Buddhist sites in India and Nepal and was the teacher of Annie's trip to India in 2016. Shantum has been a student of Thich Nhật Hanh for several decades and has been a friend of Annie's for many years. You will definitely enjoy his talk!
After our meditation period, Shantum will talk, and then we will have some time to ask him questions and share about our practice.
Shantum Seth talks about his Buddhist journey.
More about Shantum:
Shantum Seth is a teacher, social development worker and a man of peace with Indian roots and a world experience not easily found in one person.
He is an ordained teacher (Dharmacharya) in the Zen lineage of the Venerable Thich Nhat Hanh, and the foremost guide to the sites associated with the Buddha. He has been leading highly acclaimed pilgrimages 'In the Footsteps of the Buddha' and other amazing journeys of discovery throughout India and parts of South Asia since 1988. His tours have been featured in The New York Times and on the BBC/PBS’s “Story of India” (www.buddhapath.com ).
He advises the Government of India's Ministry of Tourism and Culture and was instrumental in initiating the Endogenous Tourism program for the United Nations Development Program where he worked for 15 years. He has used his considerable experience to contribute to a number of books, including “Walking with the Buddha,” “Planting Seeds…, Sharing Mindfulness with Children,” and “Volunteers against Conflict.”
Shantum has been in demand as a guest speaker at many forums including to the Young President’s Organization, the UNDP executive board, the Chicago Council for Global Affairs, the Confederation of Indian Industries and at a number of museums and universities East and West.
He is actively involved in the non-profit trust Ahimsa, which is pioneering work on ‘Mindfulness in Education’ and setting up a centre for this purpose in the foothills of the Himalayas (www.ahimsatrust.org). While at the University of East Anglia in England, studying Development Studies, he titled his thesis 'Ahimsa Shoes', basing it on Gandhian economics.
An itinerant traveler himself, he has visited more than 50 countries and has lived in England, the USA and France. He now lives with his wife, two daughters and parents in the suburbs of Delhi, India.
In many ways Shantum is an exciting window to today's India. He helps the world understand, interpret and value a multi-faceted civilization and its people.

A Plum Village Retreat providing training and practices to support white people who are committed to addressing white supremacy
More and more white people are becoming aware of the deeply embedded and normalized nature of white supremacy in our society and are wanting to do something to end it.
However, this is made very difficult by their unconsciously conditioned ignorance to how they themselves have internalized whiteness - and how much healing from internalized whiteness is needed to make it possible for them to engage in anti-racism work without unintentionally perpetuating racism.
That's why we're offering this retreat - and hopefully more in the future!
REGISTER BY CLICKING HERE
PURPOSE: This training retreat is designed to support you in this healing journey, using mindfulness-based practices and by being in a sangha committed to raising our racial awareness and taking action for collective liberation.
WHO: For primarily white people who have a developed mindfulness and meditation practice and want to take action to address white supremacy and grow racial justice work in our Dharma communities - starting within yourselves. People of color and mixed race people who are interested in undoing internalized whiteness in white people and in themselves are asked to first contact the trainer (retreats@sandrakim.com) to make sure it's an appropriate retreat for them.
WHAT: You will get the Healing from Internalized Whiteness training in the container of a Plum Village retreat. The focus will be in understanding 1) how internalized whiteness functions in ourselves and our society, 2) how we can care for its toxic effects with mindfulness-based practices, and 3) how we can approach conversations with other white people about racism from a place of solidity within ourselves, spaciousness with others, and shared humanity.
WHEN: Friday, September 21, 2018 - Tuesday, September 25, 2018. Retreatants are expected to stay the entire time since this is a training retreat and important components of the training will be shared on Monday and Tuesday.
Check in for the retreat is on Friday, September 22nd, from 3 pm - 5 pm so you may have enough time to register and settle in before dinner at 6:00 pm. Orientation will be at 7:30 pm.
If you arrive before check in starts, please enjoy the beautiful land at Rose Apple Society on your own and know that you will be given more guidance once check in starts.
Check out for the retreat is on Tuesday, September 25th after the 1 pm lunch. Please aim to leave after lunch is served, which is right after the closing circle.
If you are arriving or leaving outside of those time frames, please let us know at retreats@sandrakim.com
WHERE: Rose Apple Society in South Woodstock, Vermont.
CAPACITY: Up to 20 people can register due to limited space. There will be a waiting list and future retreat opportunities.
FEE: $100 registration fee to cover only upfront expenses like food and facilitator's travel. You will be invited to give Dana at the end of the retreat to acknowledge and support the work of the trainer and organizing team. Ideally, we would like to raise $4,000 in order to meet the financial needs of the retreat. We know that everyone has different means and capacities. So we would like to invite everyone into the practice of Dana - giving and receiving from our true capacity, strength, generosity, and joy.
SCHOLARSHIPS: Click here to apply for scholarship to help subsidize the registration fee, which is awarded on a first-come, first-serve basis. No one will be turned away for lack of money.

We are very excited to share that several monastics from the Thich Nhat Hanh Blue Cliff Monastery will be in the area in May, offering the following events. Info will be updated as it becomes available.
A community of Plum Village monastics and lay friends are hiking from Blue Cliff Monastery in New York to Washington, DC, along the Shawangunk Ridge Trail, the Appalachian Trail, and the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal. Their aspiration is to create a mobile monastery and practice center, while connecting deeply to the healing energy of nature through mindful steps. To learn more about the Appalachian Trail journey, visit www.pathofhappiness.org.
The Day of Practice will be at Seeker's Church, 276 Carroll St NW, Washington, DC. It is located a block away from the Takoma Metro Station where parking will be available.
The schedule for the Day of Mindfulness is:
Please bring a vegetarian bag lunch and a friend. Also, if you are comfortable sitting on the floor, please bring a cushion and a mat or blanket with you. (There will also be many chairs for those who prefer them.)
There is no required fee, though it is important that you register at EventBrite so we can hold a place for you:
Dana (donations) will be received to support the community's aspiration to offer wilderness hiking mindfulness retreats for young people from disadvantaged backgrounds. The intention is to create a "rite of passage" for young people through which they can learn to responsibly care for themselves, physically and emotionally, and, also, to responsibly care for the our earth.
If you would like to offer Dana to the hiking monastics, please go to the home page of The Path of Happiness website.
The May 26th Day of Practice is sponsored by the Washington, DC, area mindfulness communities practicing in the Plum Village tradition: The Boat of Compassion Sangha (Vietnamese language), The Mindfulness Practice Center of Fairfax, The Opening Heart Mindfulness Community, The Still Water Mindfulness Practice Center, and The Washington Mindfulness Community.
