Description

Let’s Practice Together

Beginning Again: Renewal in Every Breath

with Sarwang Parikh

Sunday, April 12th from 10:00 - 11:30 am PT 

Online via Zoom

 

About the Session:

Connect with the natural rhythm of change unfolding organically within our own being and in the world around us as we move through the seasons of our lives. Just as the earth transitions from winter to spring, so too do our very cells, breath, and inner landscape continuously shift and renew. This guided practice will focus on connecting with ease and embracing our innate capacity to begin again. Through gentle guidance, we will allow ourselves to attune to these natural changes and notice the quiet ways renewal is already unfolding.

 

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 Sarwang 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 Sarwang in the following ways:

Venmo: @sarwangp

PayPal: @Sarwang or paypal.me/Sarwang

 

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. 

Please check your timezone to ensure it aligns with Pacific Time, as the clocks changed last month. 

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.
