Topic: Vamos a Respirar: Let us Breathe
Saturday, September 22, 2018, 4:00-6:30 PM
“Letting go gives us freedom, and freedom is the only condition for happiness. If, in our heart, we still cling to anything – anger, anxiety, or possessions – we cannot be free.” ~ Thich Nhat Hahn
The IMCW people of Color Sangha welcomes you to be in community with us as we discuss the freedom that begins with a shift from the survivor’s mind to a present or Free Mind.
In this Sangha we will explore:
The Survivor’s Mind and the Free Mind.
Shifting and letting go of the survivor's mind.
How relinquishing control reveals our personal path (dharma) and connects us to deep intergenerational healing.
Cultivating a Free Mind through
Unconditional Kindness and Friendliness.
Joyful for others joy.
Compassion or “Love in Action” for self first and others
Wisdom.
