Description
Let’s Practice Together -
From Drudgery to Joy: Pathways that Draw You to Practice
with Amana Brembry Johnson
Sunday, April 6th from 10:00 - 11:30 am Pacific Standard Time
Online via Zoom
About the Session:
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.
During our time together with Amana, we will cultivate an understanding of the benefits of inviting relaxation and ease into our practice as a pathway to resiliency, strength and clarity in facing the challenges that accompany our journey through life.
About the Series:
Throughout 2025, 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, practicitioners 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 support is appreciated, and everyone is welcome, regardless of ability to contribute.
Setting the Container:
We request participants attend the whole program to respect the container of the group and the teacher.
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. If you have an access need around this request, please reach out to info@braidedwisdom.org so we can discuss how best to support you.
