Let's Practice Together with Jonathan Relucio on August 9, 2026
Description
Let’s Practice Together
with Jonathan Relucio
Sunday, August 9th from 10:00 - 11:30 am PT (Pacific Time)
Online via Zoom
About the Series:
These times call for us to expand our individual and collective capacity to navigate uncertainty, instability, and complexity. By practicing deeply together, we strengthen our ability to meet these challenges with resilience and presence.
Throughout the year, we will gather one Sunday a month online as a community of curious practitioners to explore the timeless wisdom of the Buddhadharma and mindfulness/Insight meditation. In each session, we will cultivate presence, deepen our meditation practice, and engage in shared reflections and inquiry. Together, we cultivate a collective heart-mind-body—a living, interconnected field—spacious enough to hold and transform whatever life brings our way.
Let's Practice Together offers a space for meaningful dialogue—an opportunity to ask questions, explore personal and collective experiences, and learn from one another. We welcome sincere and committed practitioners of all levels and backgrounds to join us on this collective path of discovery and connection.
Sessions will be recorded and shared with all registrants. During the session, practitioners who don't wish to be recorded may offer their questions and reflections in the chat.

Reciprocity Contribution:
We gratefully welcome donations of any amount that feels meaningful to you. Your donation at registration directly supports Braided Wisdom's ability to continue cultivating spaces of healing, learning, and collective care. Everyone is welcome, regardless of ability to contribute.
Additionally, we invite you to engage in sacred reciprocity with our dear teacher Jonathan by offering dana, a gift of heartfelt generosity in gratitude for his wisdom, which supports his continued sustainability and helps keep these ancient, liberatory teachings alive.
You're welcome to donate directly to Jonathan in the following ways:
PayPal: https://paypal.me/JonathanRelucio

Setting the Container:
We request participants attend the whole program to respect the group and the teacher, and ask for your support with creating a sacred container by arriving to the session on time as the zoom room will close at 10:15 am PT.
At Braided Wisdom, we strive to cultivate an online space that supports connection, presence, and collective care. While we invite participants to have their cameras on to help nurture a sense of community, we wholeheartedly honor that there are many reasons someone may choose otherwise. We encourage you to meet yourself where you are, and if any needs arise around this, you’re warmly invited to reach out to us at info@braidedwisdom.org.
Please note, there is a possibility the session may go over 15 minutes. It would be great if you can stay, and we understand if you need leave at 11:30 am PT.

He completed East Bay Meditation Center’s Spiritual Teacher and Leadership (STL) Program; Spirit Rock’s Mindfulness, Yoga, and Meditation Training (MYMT); and Braided Wisdom’s Original Medicine Yearlong and In-Depth programs, and now teaches with each of these organizations.
“As a participant of the Original Medicine program, I experienced meaningful personal and ancestral healing through the wisdom of nature and the ancestors,” Jonathan says, “and I am grateful to support others in this healing as a Braided Wisdom teacher.”
Jonathan also facilitates transformation in social justice movements as a trainer and coach with Rockwood Leadership Institute; integrates wellness and organizing through his work with the Healing Advisory Council at Filipino Advocates for Justice; and co-founded AllThrive Education to advance healing and racial equity.
