sunday, april 28, 9:30-12:30
Co-sponsored with Northern california society for psychoanalytic psychology
:While meditation is often recommended for people with stress and trauma, unintended psychological impacts are common. In this class, we will learn how a history of trauma can impact the experience of meditation, and how to skillfully identify and work with this trauma residue. We will:
-Review the neurobiology of trauma and how if affects brain functions.
-Examine the most common impacts of trauma on meditation, including agitation, fearfulness, dissociation, and spiritual bypassing.
-Learn methods of skillful intervention and inquiry.
-Discuss participant's own clinical material.

Chiyono was widowed at 32 and couldn’t get over her grief. She came to the teacher Bukko and asked, “What is Zen?”
Bukko replied, “The heart of the one who asks is Zen; you can’t get it from someone else’s words.”
Once in a while, we are able to gather as the Open Source—the collective of communities in the lineage of Joan Sutherland, Roshi. These include the Awakened Life community in Santa Fe and the four sanghas led by teachers authorized by Joan: Springs Mountain Sangha, Wet Mountain Sangha, Desert Rain Sangha, and Crimson Gate Meditation Community.
When we gather in retreat this way, sitting, eating, walking, singing, dreaming and conversing for days and over nights, we create a powerful field of encouragement in which the Open Source lives, breathes and grows. This is one dynamic way we requite the love of our teacher—to dream the Way onward, with all the creativity of our collective beings. Our individual awakenings both form and are formed by the wave that rises to meet this particular, mysterious and poignant time..
