SUMMARY:Mommy Sangha
DESCRIPTION:The Open Heart Project Mommy Sangha: A supportive gathering of moms\, stepmoms\, and grandmothers to practice meditation together and share our wisdom\nAre you a mom (or stepmother or grandmother) who longs to practice meditation but can’t find time amidst the demands–and joys and difficulties–of caring for young children? \nParenting\, no matter how desired (and enjoyed)\, may come with fatigue\, self-doubt\, and the natural question: who the hell am I now? Meditation can help by offering space to breathe. Sangha (Sanskrit for community) helps by assuring you that you are most definitely not alone. Together\, meditation and Sangha can help you to remain present during the long days and short years of caring for your little ones. \nWhether you have a meditation practice (or used to have one) or are a brand new beginner\, you are warmly invited to join the Mommy Sangha. During this weekly 30-minute gathering\, you will be guided in a short meditation practice followed by a chance to connect with other mothers. We will also meet quarterly for a longer practice session and a special talk on how to apply Buddhist mindfulness principles to motherhood. \nThe Mommy Sangha will exist as a continuous presence for you to participate in as you are interested and able. And\, while we will be emphasizing the experiences of caring for younger children\, all mothers are welcome.\nWe promise to: \n\nProvide meditation instruction\nAnswer questions about meditation\nModerate the dialog to keep it meaningful and on point\nFoster kindness\nKeep it short!\n\nWhere: In the comfort of your own home via the Zoom meeting platform. Each session will be recorded so you can practice with the Mommy Sangha even if you can’t attend the live gathering. \n \nAbout Jenna Hollenstein\nNew mom\, mindfulness teacher\, and Founder and Nutrition Therapist at Eat to Love\, Jenna aims to bring the gentle sanity of Buddhist principles to every aspect of her personal and professional life. She is excited to support Mommy Sangha members to create and sustain a meditation practice that creates awareness\, lovingkindness\, and self-compassion. Her greatest teachers include Susan\, her partner Andrea\, and her son Mimmo. \nAbout the Open Heart Project\nCreated by meditation teacher and writer Susan Piver\, the OHP is an online meditation center. It shares all the qualities of a traditional dharma center: A shared practice. Workshops. Advanced courses. Retreats. Guest teachers. Community gatherings—all online and available to you 24/7. Currently\, there are close to 15000 members all over the world who are practicing meditation to recover a sense of balance\, cultivate fearlessness\, sharpen our minds\, and soften our hearts. While each may practice alone\, we also practice together to create a network of sanity and kindness. More information about the Open Heart Project can be found here. \nOnce you register\, your account will be charged automatically every 30 days\, unless or until you cancel. \nQuestions?

Federation members may claim 47.5 CEUS (15 core competency and 32.5 resource development) toward maintaining their coaching certification. \n  \n  \n \n  \nCurrent Registered Yoga Teachers (RYT) with Yoga Alliance may register 47.5 Non-Contact Hours as part of their Continuing Education \n  \n  \n\nYOUR TEACHERS\n \nSusan Piver is a Buddhist teacher and the New York Times bestselling author of nine books. Her new book\, The Four Noble Truths of Love: Buddhist Wisdom for Modern Relationships\, was published in June 2018. A student of Buddhism since 1995\, she graduated from a Buddhist seminary in 2004 and was authorized to teach meditation in the Shambhala Buddhist lineage in 2005. \nIn 2011\, Piver launched The Open Heart Project\, an online meditation community with nearly 20\,000 members who practice together and explore ways to bring spiritual values such as kindness\, genuineness and fearlessness to everyday life. \n  \n  \n  \n \nJenna Hollenstein\, MS\, RD\, CDN\, is a writer\, nutrition therapist\, mindfulness teacher and Open Heart Project Meditation Guide. \nShe is a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor who works with individual clients and small groups. She is the author of Understanding Dietary Supplements\, a handy guide to the evaluation and use of vitamins\, minerals\, herbs\, and botanicals for both consumers and clinicians\, and more recently the memoir Drinking to Distraction. Her third book\, Eat to Love: A Mindful Guide to Transform your Relationship with Food\, Body\, and Life\, will be released in January\, 2019. \n  \n  \nSusan and Jenna discuss the program:\n \n \n\n\nABOUT THE PROGRAM\n \nMindfulness meditation is now a cultural phenomenon. It may appear that teaching meditation is a simple thing—what is so complicated about sitting down and breathing?! However\, 2600 years of mindfulness-awareness practice has shown us that though the technique is simple\, the results it produces are not. A skillful meditation teacher has knowledge of how to guide others as this ancient practice takes root. This program will help you to become that guide.  \nYou can’t find this kind of training anywhere else online. It is a one-of-a-kind program specifically constructed for those who want to offer meditation instruction to individuals and small groups as part of their professional offering. It was developed by Susan Piver\, Buddhist teacher and founder of the Open Heart Project\, and Jenna Hollenstein\, a meditation guide and nutrition therapist. Here is what sets this training apart:\n \n\nIt is live and in-person; no pre-recorded material for you to figure out on your own\nIt is taught by deeply trained meditators with a combined 30 years of experience\nIt is unapologetically spiritual–meditation is not presented as self-improvement but as a means to access wisdom\, compassion\, and confidence\nThe curriculum is rooted in Buddhist wisdom; there is nothing new-agey about it\nIt is crafted specifically for those who want to offer meditation instruction as part of their professional offering as yoga teachers\, coaches\, counselors\, and so on\nEach student has the opportunity for a one-to-one consultation with Susan or Jenna\nOnce the program is completed\, you are not left on your own. There is an active alumni program that meets once a week for ongoing support\n\nIn our nine weeks together\, we will really get to know each other. We will support you to navigate the obstacles and develop a strong personal practice. Through weekly talks\, readings\, group discussions\, reading assignments\, mentoring\, and giving instruction to each other\, you will learn to teach the meditation technique clearly\, answer the most frequently asked questions with confidence\, gain insight into the teacher-student relationship\, and guide others to explore their potential with the support of mindfulness. \nUpon successful completion of the program\, you will receive a certificate confirming that you have been trained by the Open Heart Project to teach mindfulness-awareness meditation in the Buddhist tradition. \n  \n\nLEARNING OBJECTIVES\nThe foundation of the Open Heart Project Meditation Instructor Training program is two-fold: \nTo support you to develop a strong personal practice and a personal understanding of the guiding principles of mindfulness and awareness as the necessary foundation for sharing the practice with others. \nTo explore the particulars of offering the practice responsibly\, setting appropriate boundaries\, understanding what the practice can and cannot help with\, and how to support others as their practice develops. \nThis program is not about becoming a spiritual teacher. It is about learning to impart this ancient technique responsibly\, kindly\, and skillfully. \n  \n\nThis program has been transformational. Susan and Jenna’s ability to transmit an ancient practice through a modern online format is unparalleled. I felt connected to the practice\, the teachers\, and the community of fellow students the entire time through weekly teachings\, check-ins\, mentoring\, and private discussion forums. I’m so grateful to have been a part of this training and feel confident in my abilities to share it with others moving forward. –Angela B. \n\n\n\nCLASS SCHEDULE\n\n28 hours of in-person class time plus 19.5 hours of homework\, reading\, and personal daily meditation practice over 9 weeks.\nClasses will be held on nine consecutive Tuesdays from 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm ET.

It happened that the Open Heart Project was hosting their next class in just two weeks and I knew I had to apply. I was familiar with Susan Piver and felt a deep trust in the wisdom of her teachings. I’m so glad I was accepted into the program because Susan and Jenna are extraordinary teachers who complement each other so well. The program strengthened my knowledge of the practice and offered me valuable tools in teaching others. I also loved my classmates and the energy they brought to each class. I highly recommend this program to anyone who wants to deepen their own practice and share it with others! –Nazmina M. \n  \n\nThe Open Heart Project – Meditation Instructor Training program has taught me how to instruct meditation and consider other important things and behaviors that impact my life. I am an activist\, yoga teacher\, workshop leader\, and the practice of meditation has calmed the noise in my mind\, and enhanced my daily life. There is more order in my life; more realistic compassion for others and myself; and a heightened awareness of being present. How did this occur\, you might ask? Well\, the study of meditation not only taught me how to sit and follow the breath\, but also how to examine the patterns or ways of being that have hindered my path. Susan and Jenna are marvelous teachers! They share their confidence and knowledge in a facile\, and relatable way. As the training progresses you come to understand that this course is a gift. –Maya B. \n\nI am so grateful to have had the opportunity to become a Meditation Instructor under the wisdom and guidance of Susan and Jenna. I am a gym owner and endurance coach for athletes so I understand what it takes to teach a group of individuals. Teaching is no small task\, especially when your students are literally from all over the world with very varied reasons for why they are participating in your class. Susan and Jenna were able to teach in a clear and concise way while creating a loving and personal space for all of us to learn and develop as instructors. Their instruction was organized and professional while being simultaneously warm and flexible based on our individual needs. I graduated from the course feeling fully prepared to share this beautiful meditation practice with my students. Since completing the course I have had the honor to teach meditation to many different people and right from the first instruction I was able to share the technique clearly and completely because of the wonderful instruction I had been given in the course. It is truly an honor and joy to be able to share Shamatha Meditation with others and I am grateful to be so well prepared. Thank you Susan and Jenna for your teaching and support. Thank you most for the continued gifts of your love\, positive energy and wisdom. –Mary Ann S.\n \n\n\nREQUIREMENTS\nSuccessful completion of this program is predicated on the following: \n\nFull attendance at the Opening Session\, Class Dates and Check-in Dates below.\nCompletion of homework and exercises.\nAccepting honest feedback from your teachers and fellow classmates.\nEvaluation by Susan or Jenna (between weeks 7 and 9\, you will meet online with either Susan or Jenna to give 1:1 meditation instruction).\nThe ability to answer the most frequently asked questions\, to be tested during week 9.\nA commitment to your own personal practice. This is the strictest requirement.\n\nPlease be advised that graduation is not guaranteed. Full attendance and completion of assignments are not the sole measures. We want to make sure you are really ready to go out and offer this practice from your heart\, in your own way\, with full respect for the ancient tradition. We will do everything in our power to help you! If we foresee any issues with your readiness to provide meditation instruction\, we will work with you to develop a plan for additional practice and study. \n  \n\n  \nINVESTMENT \nEARLY BIRD PRICE: $1\,295.00 (until September 1st)\n \nTHIS PROGRAM IS SOLD OUT.\n \nPlease email lisa@susanpiver.com to sign up for 2019 course announcements.  \nLimited to 50 people. \nOnce accepted\, applicants must pay within 10 days to secure their spot in the program. \nBecause space is limited\, we do not offer refunds. Please contact us before payment if you have questions about this. \nQuestions? Please email Lisa. \n  \n\nI applied for the OHP Meditation Instructor Training thinking I was simply going to learn the proper way to guide others through meditation practice. While that did happen\, this class took me on a wonderful and revealing journey that prompted me to examine my own mind\, practice\, obstacles\, outlooks\, and more in a vigorous way. I learned meditation practice is not just something I do. It is something I carry into every aspect of my off-the-cushion life. I emerged from this class feeling fully prepared to teach others. — Lisa L. \n\nWhile I signed up for the course to primarily deepen my own practice\, I came out of it feeling very comfortable with the prospect of teaching meditation someday. This course was effective at helping me commit to and strengthen my own practice. I gained a solid foundation regarding basic meditation instruction and theory and I am grateful for the opportunity!  — Sara S. \n\nThrough this course\, I reconnected with meditation as a meaningful spiritual practice that offered me the opportunity to deepen my spirituality and open to acceptance and compassion. Susan and Jenna thoroughly covered the key components of effective meditation instruction\, as well as how to harness our own meditation practice and experience to help our students as they begin a practice and encounter obstacles. I wholeheartedly recommend the course to those committed to deepening their own practice and to bringing the practice to their clients and community. — Kristyn J. \n\nI completed the Meditation Instructor training in 2016. Soon after it ended\, I realized that something was missing in my days and weeks\, which was that I missed the community of meditators and deep thinking and awareness that I had been part of with Susan Piver and Jenna Hollenstein. Participating in this community and learning meditation skills and teaching skills were significant experiences for me\, and I have gone on to participate in an immersive program for teaching mindfulness to teens. Besides that\, I have been inspired and “anchored” by the practice of logging my daily meditation\, which was introduced to me in this OHP course. To date\, whether it is for 45 minutes or one minute (probably an average of 15-20 minutes)\, I have meditated daily for 539 continuous days\, during which time I have learned an immense amount about my mind\, my heart\, and the beings around me — and that is just a tiny aspect of what Susan and Jenna’s course offered. Go OHP!!\n — Ingrid K. \n\nTaking the meditation instructor training course with Susan and Jenna\, for me\, is one of those gifts that keeps giving. Susan and Jenna have a way of radiating not only their knowledge\, but especially their love for the practice and they share it generously. They encouraged us to make our own practice committed and consistent too; they got us practicing teaching together in a supportive environment. I especially loved meeting and learning from the other participants from all over the world. In hindsight\, if I had to say just one way I benefited from the course\, it would be that I’m getting better at shifting “How am I doing?” to “How can I relax into this situation\, let go of expectations\, and listen?” That seems like some of the best meditation instructor training (and life training) that I can think of.\n — Laura C. \n\nTerms of Use/Privacy Policy

SUMMARY:Mommy Sangha
DESCRIPTION:The Open Heart Project Mommy Sangha: A supportive gathering of moms\, stepmoms\, and grandmothers to practice meditation together and share our wisdom\nAre you a mom (or stepmother or grandmother) who longs to practice meditation but can’t find time amidst the demands–and joys and difficulties–of caring for young children? \nParenting\, no matter how desired (and enjoyed)\, may come with fatigue\, self-doubt\, and the natural question: who the hell am I now? Meditation can help by offering space to breathe. Sangha (Sanskrit for community) helps by assuring you that you are most definitely not alone. Together\, meditation and Sangha can help you to remain present during the long days and short years of caring for your little ones. \nWhether you have a meditation practice (or used to have one) or are a brand new beginner\, you are warmly invited to join the Mommy Sangha. During this weekly 30-minute gathering\, you will be guided in a short meditation practice followed by a chance to connect with other mothers. We will also meet quarterly for a longer practice session and a special talk on how to apply Buddhist mindfulness principles to motherhood. \nThe Mommy Sangha will exist as a continuous presence for you to participate in as you are interested and able. And\, while we will be emphasizing the experiences of caring for younger children\, all mothers are welcome.\nWe promise to: \n\nProvide meditation instruction\nAnswer questions about meditation\nModerate the dialog to keep it meaningful and on point\nFoster kindness\nKeep it short!\n\nWhere: In the comfort of your own home via the Zoom meeting platform. Each session will be recorded so you can practice with the Mommy Sangha even if you can’t attend the live gathering. \n \nAbout Jenna Hollenstein\nNew mom\, mindfulness teacher\, and Founder and Nutrition Therapist at Eat to Love\, Jenna aims to bring the gentle sanity of Buddhist principles to every aspect of her personal and professional life.

SUMMARY:Mommy Sangha
DESCRIPTION:The Open Heart Project Mommy Sangha: A supportive gathering of moms\, stepmoms\, and grandmothers to practice meditation together and share our wisdom\nAre you a mom (or stepmother or grandmother) who longs to practice meditation but can’t find time amidst the demands–and joys and difficulties–of caring for young children? \nParenting\, no matter how desired (and enjoyed)\, may come with fatigue\, self-doubt\, and the natural question: who the hell am I now? Meditation can help by offering space to breathe. Sangha (Sanskrit for community) helps by assuring you that you are most definitely not alone. Together\, meditation and Sangha can help you to remain present during the long days and short years of caring for your little ones. \nWhether you have a meditation practice (or used to have one) or are a brand new beginner\, you are warmly invited to join the Mommy Sangha. During this weekly 30-minute gathering\, you will be guided in a short meditation practice followed by a chance to connect with other mothers. We will also meet quarterly for a longer practice session and a special talk on how to apply Buddhist mindfulness principles to motherhood. \nThe Mommy Sangha will exist as a continuous presence for you to participate in as you are interested and able.

SUMMARY:The Four Noble Truths of Love: A Real Conversation about Intimacy\, Desire & Joy
DESCRIPTION:Relationships can present some of life’s deepest challenges. This evening\, we’ll explore the juncture of relationships & spirituality. Gain insights into falling in love\, sustaining love & even making the best of our “screw-ups” in love! Let’s celebrate being human! \nThere will be plenty of time for Q & A at the end of the talk. \nSusan Piver’s new book\, The Four Noble Truths of Love is included in the ticket price & Susan will be signing books after the event. \nSusan Piver: \nI am a NY Times bestselling author\, meditation teacher\, and speaker. Whether I’m writing books\, leading retreats\, or giving keynote presentations\, everything I offer you is about sharing what I have learned in more than two decades of Buddhist practice so that you can apply these profound lessons in everyday life. I want to help you figure out how to bring more love\, wisdom\, and confidence to your relationships\, work\, and creative aspirations.\nMeditation is the key. It is so much more than a life-hack\, y’all! Though it has been scientifically proven that meditation can help you manage stress\, communicate more effectively\, and become a better leader/basketball player/parent\, an ongoing meditation practice offers even more than that. It is a path to love. It is a way to figure out who you are and become genuine in every moment of your life. It is a path to transformation. Thank you for all the rad intel\, science\, but major thanks must also go to 2500 years of vast Buddhist insight into the nature of truth\, meaning\, and joy. I have taught thousands of students in workshops\, events\, and retreats around the globe. \nIshita Gupta:  \nToday I publish Fear.less Magazine and run my consulting business helping people gain confidence\, live without fear\, and thrive as business owners. Since diving into personal development a decade ago\, I’ve spent the last five years helping people specifically build confidence and self-worth enough to pursue their dreams. I work privately with clients who are driven and serious about living up to their potential\, teach digital courses on confidence + emotional skills\, and write about how to live your best life. \nI speak at conferences around the U.S. on entrepreneurship\, business\, and personal development. I’ve spoken at World Domination Summit\, TEDx\, Startup Princess\, Next Generation Health\, Business Growth Summit\, Young Female Entrepreneurs\, and more. I’ve done numerous online interviews\, including Prologue Profiles\, The Rise to the Top\, Marketing Over Coffee\, The Creative Penn. I’ve also written for Forbes\, American Express Open\, Positively Positive\, Business Insider\, and Shambala Publications.
