SUMMARY:Monthly Dharma Gathering
DESCRIPTION:On the first Wednesday of each month at 7:00p.m. EST\, the entire Open Heart Project community gathers together to hear a talk from a special guest teacher\, sit meditation together\, and share questions\, stories\, and experiences. Each talk will focus on applying the dharma to real life. This 75-90 minute gathering is free and open to all. Just click this link at that time. This event is free to everyone! \n“Waking up to Compassion in the Face of Aggression”\nClaude AnShin Thomas was born in rural Pennsylvania in 1947. A survivor of childhood violence\, he became a soldier in the Vietnam War\, where he served as a helicopter crew chief. Today he is a fully ordained Zen Buddhist Monk in the Japanese Soto Zen Tradition. He has also taken vows of mendicancy. \nClaude AnShin leads programs around the US and internationally on mindfulness\, healing\, and transformation. He is the author of AT HELL’S GATE: A Soldier’s Journey from War to Peace (Shambhala 2004). His writing has also appeared in several anthologies including The Mindfulness Revolution and The Best Buddhist Writing. \nHe divides his time between the U.S.\, Europe\, and South America in working to bring an end to the repetitive cycles of suffering and violence. \nClaude AnShin Thomas served in Vietnam from 1966 -’67\, at the age of eighteen\, in the 116th Assault Helicopter Company. He was shot down on five occasions and was wounded once\, receiving the Purple Heart. He was honorably discharged from the US Army in August of 1968. \nClaude AnShin has been politically and socially active\, working to end the war in Vietnam\, working for student rights and later working to address the plight of many of my fellow veterans who were being socially ostracized – suffering homelessness\, drug addiction\, unemployability\, social isolation\, and abnormally high rates of suicide\, divorce\, and imprisonment. All of these were conditions with which he was intimately aware and personally familiar. \nHe is very interested in answering any questions you may have.  If you have one you would like him to answer during his talk\, please email it to us now and we’ll present it to him on February 3.

SUMMARY:Dharma of Writing Group
DESCRIPTION:So many of us say we want to write. When we write\, we come home to ourselves. We have ideas to explore\, stories to tell\, or songs to sing. Writing can illuminate\, clarify\, and heal. \nIn 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 6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. ET and when Kate hosts\, it will be from 4:30 p.m. – 6:30 p.m. ET. (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: \nFebruary 10   6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. (hosted by Susan)\nMarch 10   4:30 p.m. – 6:30 p.m. ET (hosted by Kate)\nApril 13   6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. (hosted by Susan)\nMay 11   4:30 p.m. – 6:30 p.m. ET (hosted by Kate)\nJune 11    6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.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\n\nThe cost is $15 per month. Once you register\, your account will be charged automatically every 30 days\, unless or until you cancel. (Please note: no partial refunds.) \nFree for the Open Heart Project Sangha\n(Please click here to learn more about the Sangha.)\n\n  \nQuestions? Please email Michele.

SUMMARY:Dharma of Diet
DESCRIPTION:When it comes to food\, diet\, nutrition\, and feeling at home in our bodies\, most people struggle to establish a positive relationship. At best\, we may call a truce predicated on the right ratio of calories to cardio. At worst\, we don’t know what to eat\, feel confused about nutrition\, and can no longer tell whether we are hungry or full. Walking into the market or going out to eat with friends can feel threatening. \nWe think that if we finally find the right “diet” something magical will happen: We will feel lovable and happy and discover lasting well being. To this end\, we restrict calories or food groups\, mete out treats and punishments\, get down on ourselves for any infractions\, and basically hope that the next diet will finally fix us. \nWhat ever happened to feeling alive in our bodies? To taking pleasure in taste? To feeling genuinely nourished?\nSusan Piver will host this four week evening e-Course with the founder of Eat to Love\, nutritionist and certified Intuitive Eating counselor (and good pal)\, Jenna Hollenstein. Together\, we will spend four weeks examining our relationship to food and body image to reduce the fear and confusion we have about this most basic function: eating. \nJenna is a fantastic guide who is incredibly well educated in the latest research about nutrition and diet\, but takes a super sensible and realistic view about how we feed ourselves and the meaning we attribute to what and how we eat. In our initial conversations about this program\, I came up with the phrase “magical eating” to describe how many of us approach food–that if we can just get it right\, we will look and feel perfect. What we may ignore in the quest for the “right” diet is the beauty of food as nourishment and joy. \nPlease note: THIS IS NOT A DIET OR NUTRITION PLAN. Although Jenna has distinct ideas about how to eat for health\, we will not be telling you to cut out gluten or eliminate sugar. I mean\, you can if you want\, but this program is about first exploring your relationship to food\, nutrition\, and your body. Through establishing a relationship of self-compassion and trust\, it is much easier to make the right changes for the right reasons with confidence and ease. \nIn meditation\, we make friends with our minds by noticing what we think and feel. In “The Dharma of Diet\,” our intention is to help you make friends with food by noticing how you relate to it. Through mindfulness meditation and other awareness exercises\, Jenna and Susan will support you to recover the delight of eating.\n \nFree for Open Heart Project Sangha members. Click here to join the Sangha and participate in this and other programs for free)\n \nAll sessions will be recorded and a link made available within 24 hours of the live class. Materials will be accessible for 120 days from registration.\n \nRegister\n \nQuestions? Please email Michele \n\nCurriculum \nWeek One: Relax  \nIntroduction to mindfulness meditation\nMindfulness meditation instruction\nWhat meditation can teach us about eating\nRecovering familiarity with hunger and fullness\nQ&A \nWeek Two: See Where You Are  \nWorking with emotions mindfully\nGetting to know various forms of hunger\, especially heart hunger\nCultivating loving kindness toward yourself\nQ&A \nWeek Three: Be Where You Are \nEstablishing confidence: 5 steps to take\nMeeting the threat of deprivation with loving kindness\nEating for satisfaction by developing an unhurried\, sense-based relationship to food.\nQ&A \nWeek Four: Eat to Love \nMeditation in motion: bringing the mind of meditation into your life\nEmbracing our humanness\nBody acceptance and respect\nWhere to go for further support\nQ&A \n\nFAQS \nI have an eating disorder—can this program help me? \nThis course might not be appropriate for some people with an eating disorder who need to go through a period of recovery before they are able to reconnect with the body’s signals of hunger\, fullness\, and satisfaction. And because it is a group course\, we are not able to address each individual’s specific needs\, which is essential in eating disorder recovery. If you are being treated for an eating disorder or any other psychological condition (or should be)\, you must check with your healthcare provider(s) before enrolling in this program. If you aren’t sure if this course is appropriate for you\, contact Jenna directly at jenna@eat2love.com and we can discuss. \nI can’t make some (or all) of the classes because I am in a different time zone/have to work/will be too tired (and so on). Can I still benefit from the class?  \nYes. All sessions will be recorded and a link sent out to all participants within 24 hours of the class. You will have a chance to send in questions you’d like Susan or Jenna to cover in the next class. \nI may not be able to keep up with the class due to work\, travel\, or family reasons. If I miss a week will the material be accessible for a while? \nYes. The material will be posted for 120 days from your registration date so you will be able to visit\, and revisit\, the material as often as you like. \nI am interested in meditation\, but I am NOT interested in religion. Will the class require me to learn any doctrine or accept particular beliefs? \nAbsolutely not. Doctrine and beliefs are an obstacle to meditation. You can benefit from the practice if you are Christian\, Hindu\, Pagan\, atheist\, and so on and on. There is no conflict. \nI want to take this class but the timing is not good for me. Will Susan and Jenna be offering it again? \nThey may\, although at this time there is no plan to do so. \nI’ve never taken an online class. Do I need any special equipment or software? \nNo. The class will be held using the Zoom meeting platform. You will receive a link\, and instructions\, for each class the day before the class.  There will be an opportunity to ask questions during each class via a chat window.  All you need is your computer and an internet connection and you may need to download an app prior to joining your first session.  This only takes about 60 seconds but please complete this step prior to the class start time. \n\nMeet The Instructors \nJenna Hollenstein is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) and a Certified Dietitian Nutritionist (CDN) in New York State with a Bachelors degree in Nutrition from Penn State\, a Masters degree in Nutrition from Tufts University. She is a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor and 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. \nBuddhist meditation teacher Susan Piver is the New York Times best selling author of nine books. She is founder of the Open Heart Project\, an international online mindfulness community with close to 15000 members worldwide. Her new book\, “Start Here Now\,” was just published.
