SUMMARY:The One Heart: An Exploration of the Journey Toward True Intimacy in Relationships
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT\n\nThe point of meditation practice (if there is one) is not necessarily to become great at meditation—it is to become great at your life. The practice creates a mind that is flexible\, tender\, and powerful. We become more adept at expressing ourselves honestly\, dealing with conflict\, and treating others with respect. \nHowever\, the area of life that seems most difficult to bring these qualities to bear is the area that\, for many\, is most important: relationships. To help us all\, I invited wonderful teacher and awesome human being Nick Kranz to lead us in a four-week exploration of how to bring the dharma into our love lives. \nWhether you are single\, attached\, falling in love\, or going through a break-up\, this program can help you to give and receive love more honestly\, communicate more clearly with people you love\, and become more discerning\, no matter where you are—or wish to be—in the relationship cycle. \nI hope you’ll consider this special program. \nLove\, Susan \nCURRICULUM\nClass 1: Gentleness\nExploring the foundation of a good friendship or relationship\n• Exploring our own self image with gentleness\n• Exploring our expectations with gentleness \nClass 2: Commitment\nExploring what allows us to go deeper together – what prevents it.\n• What are our healthy boundaries\n• What are our vision(s) for a good life \nClass 3: Loneliness * Please note this class will be an 8p.m. EDT start\nExploring maturity and working with the tenderness of the human heart\, finding the courage to not reject loneliness but to see its positive aspect\n• Discovering friendship with loneliness\n• Appreciation of the whole person \nClass 4: One Heart\nExploring how deepening intimacy radiates inspiration\, and highlights our common good human heart in our community and life.\n• Hosting goodness\n• Healing without agenda \nThis program is not free for Open Heart Project Sangha members. \nAll classes are recorded and a link sent to participants within 24 hours of the live class. \nRecordings are available for use for 90 days from the last class. \n  \nNick is an extraordinary teacher with so much depth of insight and joyfulness of spirit.  He has already enriched my practice considerably.  —Amy \nNick’s warmth\, caring and wisdom have really helped me clarify and deepen my understanding so that I am more able to take my practice off the cushion and into the world.—Janet \nABOUT NICK KRANZ\n \nShastri Nick Kranz has been a student of Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche since 1997. He has developed an approach to cultural transformation with the practice of Social Meditation\, and worked with Youth Leadership development in the Shambhala community for the last decade. You can see his teaching schedule and video blog at www.nickkranz.com

SUMMARY:Dharma of Writing Group
DESCRIPTION:In short\, writing is very powerful. Yet\, it is so difficult to begin! This is common and natural. \nThe Dharma of Writing is an ongoing two-hour online monthly gathering designed to help you enter your own writing with the support and companionship of other writers. It will be co-hosted by myself and Kate Lila Wheeler\, a novelist who is also an acclaimed Buddhist teacher. During the months that I host\, we will gather from 6:00p.m. – 8:00p.m. EDT and when Kate hosts\, it will be from 4:30p.m. – 6:30p.m. EDT. (We will alternate months.) This will give people in various time zones a chance to participate. \nAt each session\, we will practice meditation together and then actually write. Each person will work on his or her own project with the quiet\, supportive companionship of writers all over the world. We will convene using the video conference platform\, Zoom. Sessions will be recorded and links sent to all\, so if you can’t join live you can still participate. \nThe schedule for each session is: \n\nGuided mindfulness practice: 15 minutes\nJournaling exercise (“free writing”): 15 minutes\nWriting period: 80 minutes\nCheck-in and close: 10 minutes\n\nNo work will be shared during the class\, but the group will have a private forum on our site for anyone who would like to post their writing. \nOpen to writers of fiction\, non-fiction\, poetry\, screenplays\, and song—and anyone who would simply like to explore writing as a practice. \nSubsequent sessions will take place as follows: \nSep 15 4:30p.m. – 6:30p.m. (hosted by Kate)\nOct 13 6:00p.m. – 8:00p.m. (hosted by Susan)\nNov 16 4:30p.m. – 6:30p.m. (hosted by Kate)\nDec 8 6:00p.m. – 8:00p.m. (hosted by Susan) \nThis program is for you if you are looking for some gentle accountability and dedicated time for your writing. \n\n\nThe cost is $15 per month or $7.50 per month for Sangha members. (Please click here to learn more about the Sangha.) \nOnce you register\, your account will be charged automatically every 30 days\, unless or until you cancel.

SUMMARY:Mommy Sangha-Quarterly Check-in
DESCRIPTION:The Open Heart Project Mommy Sangha: A supportive gathering of moms\, stepmoms\, and grandmothers to practice meditation together and share our wisdom\nOur August 17th gathering will be another of our hour long Quarterly Check-ins where we will be joined by our guest presenter Jenna Hollenstein who will be talking about “Mindful Eating for Moms”.\nIt’s also a chance to discuss our practice\, past gatherings and things we’d like to see discussed in the future.\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\n\n\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.

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\n\n\n \n \n \n \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.

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\n\n\n \n \n \n \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.
