VOWS: IMAGINATION ON THE PATH
January 19-April 25
Workshop: Saturdays, February 27 and March 27, 9:30-4:30
Led by Roshi Eve Myonen Marko and Head Trainee Lily Myokan Perkins
Vows can feel like constraints, evoking work and discipline. But when they reflect our most basic values and deepest passions, they liberate and transform us in unexpected ways.
When we make a vow, we enter into a relationship with a deeply considered intention. We welcome it into our lives and give it permission to work on us. That process not just creates its own energy but also elicits powerful responses from the universe.
We invite you to join us for a two-part workshop on the power of making personal vows. We will be curious about vows we have already taken (inherited, reactionary and intentional) and how we go about creating vows that express our deepest wish for ourselves, our family, and the world. We will then look into how we maintain them in the face of change and challenge, and how they may alter over time.
The workshop is based on the work of Roshi Jan Chozen Bays in The Vow Powered Life, a Simple Method for Living with Purpose. This book is recommended but not required.
We will be together from 9:30-4:30 with periods of zazen, dharma talks, time for personal reflection on past vows and developing new ones, lunch, and sharing. We ask that you attend both workshops, as the second one builds on the first, and that you stay the whole day.
We understand that doing this on Zoom is challenging. The schedule will include not just rest but also opportunities to shut down the video to restore your eyes as well as brief mindfulness practices.
The cost is $30 for the two-day workshop. Please use the Donate button here to pay the fee. Please don’t refrain from registering due to cost, scholarships are available. At the same time, we will ask for a donation at the end to the teachers for those who could afford it and are so inclined.
Please register with Dantika Monize by February 24: dantikapm@gmail.com. A few days before the workshop we will send a confirmation and link to all participants.
