BECOMING A GOOD ANCESTOR
April 9, 16, 23, 30 | Thursdays 5pm-7pm PT | 8pm-10pm ET
Taught by Sara Shapouri & Sarwang Parikh
In this four-part series, we explore the foundational Buddhist teachings of the Five Remembrances—aging, sickness, death, change, and karma—as invitations to live with greater presence, courage, and care. Drawing from core Buddhist teachings we will examine how remembering our mortality can be a counter-cultural practice that deepens wisdom and compassion. Through guided meditation, relational reflection, somatic practices, nature connection and creative exploration, participants will develop skills to meet fear, grief, and impermanence with greater steadiness while reflecting on what it means to live responsibly and become a good ancestor while we are alive.

This group is for men of color* to connect with ourselves and each other as we explore conditioning around patriarchy in order to be safer refuge for each other and those around us.
In a small group setting we will use mindfulness practices, structured dialogue, embodied relational practice, play and ritual in order to foster trust and unpack how patriarchy has shaped our self-expressions. We may examine themes around violence and domination, power, femininity, love and sexuality while discovering non-patriarchal expressions of who we are as human beings.
This group is a confidential and non-judgmental space that will be limited to 8 people plus facilitators to support a balance of trust, intimacy and space.
