Spend a day at the SFDC in contemplation and conversation with FRESH
"Lev" WHITE AND VICKIE CHANG. Indigenous West African (Dagara) elder
Dr. Malidoma Somé says that many of us are born in exile…and that
it can take a lifetime(s) to find our way home. In this daylong, find
refuge with two POC teachers in movement and stillness. Using
experiential exercises, we will explore how self-compassion,
surrender, and the earth can be powerful allies in our journey home to
our Buddha nature— the vast heart of love.
About the teachers:
The daughter of Chinese immigrants born and raised in the SF Bay Area,
Vickie Chang first encountered the dharma through the doorway of
mindfulness meditation in 2008. She graduated from the Spirit Rock DPP
4 program and has benefited from extended periods of retreat at Spirit
Rock and IMS. She lived in a Taiwanese Guanyin Pusa monastery and
worshipped at the feet of Arunachala. Most influential in her practice
has been her relationship with the land, culture, and people of
Tiruvannamalai, India, northern New Mexico, and the Divine Buddha
Temple in Taiwan. Her main teacher is the Earth/body and her path is
love. She is a psychologist in Oakland and Berkeley.
