Awakening a Fierce Feminine Buddhism
October 24 - October 25, 2020
Pamela Weiss
Robert A.F. Thurman
Like all true spiritual teachings, Buddhism offers a radical shift: from me to we, fracture to unity, and fear to love. But like most institutionalized religions, Buddhism developed under systems of hierarchy, patriarchy, and power that have become interwoven into its structure. This weekend workshop will share teachings, reflections and practices that reweave feminine qualities—of embodiment, nourishment, tenderness and mystery—into the fabric of Buddhist practice. Our time together will offer myths and stories of Buddhist women who surrounded the historical Buddha, and will introduce feminine and transfeminine archetypes that offer inspirational examples for how to address the challenges and uncertainty we face today. Each session will include guided meditation, a dharma talk, and interactive inquiry. You will leave with new insights and perspectives, and fresh ways to embody and engage practice in daily life. People of all genders are welcome.ScheduleThursday, October 15th
