SUMMARY:Larry Ward: The Alchemy of Samsara & Nirvana
DESCRIPTION:Over the past six months\, Dr. Larry Ward has taught about each of the six realms of samsara (hell\, hungry ghost\, animal\, human\, asura\, god). \nBefore he begins teaching on the four realms that embody the path to liberation (voice-hearers\, realized ones\, bodhisattvas\, Buddha)\, Dr. Ward will offer this special talk where he’ll explore the connections and similarities between samsara and nirvana. \nThis event is a part of our year long teaching series on the Buddhist story of The 10 Worlds\, ten different yet interconnected states of mind that we all inhabit. They are fluid and impermanent. All ten are existential realities with their own moods\, characteristics and inquiries. No matter the realm\, each one invites us on a quest to learn more about ourselves\, to build our capacity to adapt to the challenges we face\, and to help relieve the suffering of all beings through breaking free from the cycle of samsara. \nNEW: Starting in August\, our dharma talks will now include a Q&A. After Peggy’s guided meditation and Larry’s talk\, we’ll open the floor to your questions for the teachers. \nOnline via Zoom \nNotes: \n\nRecording shared with all registrants and members within 48 hours after the event.\nMembers do not need to register.\nOffered on a sliding scale. Please choose the price that works for you. For the most value\, consider purchasing a membership for as little as $20/month to join every month’s meditation\, talk\, and more.\n\nRegister for this event at Lotus Institute

SUMMARY:Storytelling and Potluck Lunch with David West
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, February 17 @ 3:00pm in the Great Hall RVUUF will host a potluck and storytelling afternoon with David West\, (Enrolled: Citizen Potawatomi Nation) and Director Emeritus of SOU’s Native American Studies Program.  After inviting everyone to share in a water and food blessing\, David will share stories with a focus on water and seven generations planning.  This is a wonderful opportunity to experience traditional oral storytelling from one who was raised and trained in this tradition. \nAs David says\, “Come and listen because in that storytelling there may be one word\, one sentence\, one story that was meant just for you.  And it might answer a question of need that you hadn’t even asked.  That’s the wisdom of this storytelling time.”  Bring your favorite potluck dish (hot or cold) to share.  Also\, please bring your own table setting\, mug and silverware. \nRVUUF will provide paper napkins\, coffee\, tea\, and water.

SUMMARY:Awakening to Humanity’s Sacred Mission
DESCRIPTION:An International Symposium and Call to Action\nFebruary 9-11\, 18\, 2024 \nREGISTER NOW \nThis uniquely inspired online global event is primarily dedicated to hosting the vision of Ervin Laszlo and his powerful call to “Awakening Humanity’s Sacred Mission.” The international Symposium is a collaboration produced by UNITY EARTH in deep partnership with the Source of Synergy Foundation\, Laszlo Institute\, The Holomovement\, Unify\, Light on Light\, SINE Network\, Humanity’s Team\, Good of the Whole and other global organizations. \nThis event stands out due to its unprecedented global collaboration and its core focus on deep engagement. It serves as a worldwide rallying point for Humanity’s Sacred Mission\, emphasizing actionable steps and mass mobilization in transformative movements for the greater good. \n“Awakening to Humanity’s Sacred Mission” is based on the proposition that humanity has a sacred mission\, and that seeking and advancing this shared sacred mission is of urgent and vital interest. The religions and spiritual traditions speak of this mission of humanity\, and claim that we have a sacred or divine obligation to pursue it. \nThe Symposium seeks to uncover key aspects of the sacred mission of humanity\, and to highlight its meaning for our life and future. This global event will also be offering a variety of powerful action invitations to the audience to join together in awakening our shared sacred mission. \nPursuing a sacred mission gives people meaning in life\, helping to overcome pessimism\, inertia and depression. Those who awaken to their sacred mission then become a part of a great wave of consciousness “upshifting” humanity toward our next level of consciousness. \nThe dates February 9-11 are across the Lunar New Year 2024 which will be the beginning of the Year of the Dragon. \nThe Symposium will have two sessions each day for three days (February 9-11)\, to cover all time zones. Both sessions on any single day will cover the same daily theme with a variety of speakers. There is also a Harvest Day with two sessions a week later on February 18th to follow up and follow through for the audience and speakers. \nAttendees/participants are invited to participate in one session each day including the harvest day in order to complete attendance at the Symposium. They are not expected to attend both sessions on any given day but may if they so choose. \nSession 1 times 10 am EDT – 1pm EDT / 4pm CET – 7 CET\nSession 2 times 6pm EDT – 9 pm EDT / 10am AEDT – 1pm AEDT

SUMMARY:FOR Gathering Voices: The Wall Between – What Jews and Palestinians Don't Want to Know About Each Other
DESCRIPTION:FOR invites you to join us next Tuesday\, November 21st for our monthly Gathering Voices event as I speak to Raja Khouri and Jeffrey Wilkinson\, the authors of the groundbreaking new book “The Wall Between: What Jews and Palestinians Don’t Want to Know About Each Other”. The book\, released just a few days before October 7\, offers concrete ways for Jews and Palestinians to speak (and listen) differently to each other — how needed this is right now cannot be overstated. \n“That this book even exists is remarkable\,” raved Peter Beinart. It’s extraordinarily difficult for a Palestinian and a Jew to write a book that fairly conveys the dominant mood in both communities about Palestine – Israel. But this book not only exists – it’s wise\, engaging and deeply humane. It will prove an essential text in bringing diaspora Jews and Palestinians together in the justice movement that this moment demands\,” he stated. \nSince the horrific massacres on October 7\, people have been choosing sides like it’s a football game. But\, it’s not. Lives and the future and safety of all people in Israel/Palestine are the stakes. Right now\, one child in Gaza is dying every ten minutes. The unprecedented vitriol that is manifesting on university campuses and social media isn’t moving us any closer to peace. What is needed instead is reconciliation based on justice and the inherent worth of all people. All of us\, whether Israeli or Palestinian\, Jewish\, Muslim\, or Christian\, are created in the image of G-d. \nThis inspiring book presents Arabs and Jews with the challenge of seeing the “other” as we want them to see us – fully human\, with our hurts\, history\, and hopes for the future\,” said Dr. James Zogby\, president and founder of the Arab American Institute. “It is a pure application of Martin Buber on the importance of forming ‘I-Thou relationships’ because when we recognize the humanity of others\, it enhances our own humanity\, as well.

SUMMARY:Answering the Call: October 15
DESCRIPTION:What work is the universe asking of us at this time? What work is the Earth asking of us at this time? What work are the other species asking of us at this time? What work are the youth asking of us at this time? What work are the future generations of humans asking of us? What work are our hearts asking of us?”  -–Matthew Fox \n  \nWe can discover our own unique contribution to life and to the Earth by listening to what is calling each of us at this moment of “meta-crisis” on the planet. In this daylong we will draw upon teachings and practices from spiritual teachers and psychologists\, share songs and poetry\, and use journaling and discussion to explore how to answer our call to make a positive difference with our life in a way that is deeply fulfilling. As Howard Thurman puts it\, “Ask what makes you come alive then go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” We invite you to join with others around the world to listen and come alive in answer to Earth’s call. \n  \nWorkshop Leaders \nShoshana Alexander\, MA\, is an author\, teacher\, developmental editor\, playwright\, actor\, and mother\, and in all roles has tried to make a positive difference for the Earth. She is the author of several books\, including In Praise of Single Parents and Women’s Ventures/Women’s Visions\, and is co-author of Awakening Joy with James Baraz. Shoshana has guided numerous books into print in the areas of Buddhism\, psychology\, and spirituality\, includingThe Findhorn Garden\, Radical Acceptance (Tara Brach)\, Faith and LovingKindness (Sharon Salzberg)\, and Bouncing Back (Linda Graham). She has taught high school and university courses in the humanities\, and created a number of performance pieces\, including a full-length play\, “Taking Our Life\,” which highlights ecocide and humanity’s imperative to choose life. This “Answering the Call” daylong is based on her previous in-person workshop offered in Ashland\, Oregon\, where she lives. In early 2024\, she is offering a three-month course on-line to further explore how we can answer the call of the Earth at this time. \nJames Baraz has been a meditation teacher since 1978 and leads retreats\, workshops and classes in the U.S and abroad. He is the creator and teacher of the online Awakening Joy course\, since 2003. He’s also a co-founding teacher of Spirit Rock Meditation Center in Woodacre\, California\, where he started the Family Program and the Community Dharma Leader Program. In recent years\, he has also focused on dharma and climate change\, and serves as a guiding teacher to One Earth Sangha\, a Virtual EcoCenter devoted to Buddhist responses to climate change. His books include Awakening Joy with Shoshana Alexander\, and Awakening Joy for Kids with Michele Lilyanna. He loves mentoring and bringing out the best in others.

SUMMARY:CULTIVATING WISDOM THROUGH HEALING ENGAGEMENT
DESCRIPTION:This event is Hosted by Nichol Chase and Notable Guests from the Lotus Institute. \nIs wisdom an immutable essence that only some possess\, or can it be cultivated? \nIn this online series\, Nichol Chase will engage in deep and meaningful conversations about cultivating wisdom through healing trauma\, self-mastery\, and building meaningful relationships. Dr. Daniel Siegel will join Nichol to discuss mindfulness through the lens of Interpersonal Neurobiology. Mahshid Hager\, LCSW\, will join to discuss movement through the lens of Somatic Experiencing. And Tracy Stackhouse will join to discuss music through the lens of the Polyvagal Theory. \nThroughout millennia\, some have described desirable human characteristics or gifts as immutable essences that are hard to train and require innate potential. In spite of this\, empirical research has revealed that expert abilities\, gifts or even wisdom are greatly influenced by the environment – which suggests that leaders are not born\, they are also made. In the paper Wisdom and how to cultivate it\, Igor Grossman suggests\, “The emerging evidence begins to suggest that from a constructivist point of view\, the potential for wise thinking emerged in the interaction of the person and their environment. It is up to us to realize this potential through the ways we view the self\, the situation\, and the world around us.”\nThroughout the series\, Nichol will talk about the Wisdom Building Method framework she developed during her time as a Garrison Institute Fellow. It draws upon the scientific disciplines of Interpersonal Neurobiology\, Somatic Experiencing and the Polyvagal Theory to inspire healing engagement through practice. \nTIMING\nAll sessions will run from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. ET\nFriday August 4\nTuesday August 8\nFriday August 11\nThe Zoom link will be emailed to you within 24 hours of signup.
