Sunday, October 26, Ruth King will guest teach the Rebel Dharma group in an extended session from 6-8pm. This group is part of Dharma Punx Nation & Against the Stream Buddhist Meditation Society.
Embracing the Mad Mind
When we meditate, what is often revealed is the mad mind disguising our broken heart. This tender yet insidious and persistent suffering shows up as mental hunger, anger, and wishful thinking, blocking our capacity for intimacy and freedom in our lives, relationships, and community.
In this mini-retreat, through sitting, guided meditation, and paired non-verbal exercises, we embrace the mad mind in its relational disguises and mental hindrances, and glimpse our innate goodness and shared humanity.
Rebel Dharma is a weekly mind-body awareness Insight (Vipassana) meditation group for Radicals, Rebels and Revolutionaries. Includes a 30-minute guided sit followed by discussion which is centered on the Buddha’s teaching of rebelling against the mind’s tendencies toward greed, hatred and delusion and finding freedom here and now. Everyone is welcome regardless of age, experience, race, sexuality or gender expression.
About the Teacher: Ruth King is an Insight Meditation Teacher and Emotional Wisdom author and consultant. King teaches at Insight Meditation communities nationwide. She is a guiding teacher at Insight Meditation Community of Washington, DC, and a member of its Board of Directors. She is also the founder of Mindful Members Practice Community in Charlotte, NC.
