Ubuntu and Brahma Viharas: Weaving Ancient African Spirituality and Buddhism 

with Nobantu Mpotulo

Four two hour sessions. 

September 21 & 28, October 19 & 26

Saturdays, 10:00 am - 12:00 pm PT / 7:00 - 9:00 pm SAST

Description:

This four-session program shares the age-old African Wisdom of Ubuntu. Ubuntu is about inter-connectedness and inter-beingness. This helps us to connect deeply with ourselves, with others, and with Mother Nature. Ubuntu promotes non-duality and uses the heart and the body to connect with all beings seen and unseen. We will explore how to use Ubuntu to bring the Brahma Viharas alive.

Each session will build upon each other, so we request participants attend the whole program to respect the container of the program and Nobantu. We understand that life happens, and if you know you will miss more than one class, we recommend that you join at a time when you are available for all the sessions. Your presence and engagement in the program is essentail for the course.

At Braided Wisdom we strive to build an online environment that creates a safer container for all. Part of creating a safer environment is asking for participants to have their cameras on during class time.
