Description

🌶️Low Spiciness (breathwork and movement)

Please join us for a weekly period of instruction and practice in traditional Buddhist mindfulness meditation (sati). Each session will include 30 minutes of meditation, followed by a brief teaching related to mindfulness and the practice of meditation, and a brief question and answer period. Meditation instruction or discussion will be offered each session. The meditative period will be lightly guided and mostly silent.

Because mindfulness is a vast landscape, we host rotating guest facilitators who bring unique expertise from different meditative lineages. This allows our community to experience the practice of sati through various lenses and traditions.

Meditation sessions will be hosted on the following schedule:

  • First Wednesday of each month: Jiun Hosen
  • Second Wednesday: Daka Ziji
  • Third Wednesday: Lizz Randall
  • Fourth Wednesday: Michael Lobsang
  • Fifth Wednesday (when applicable): Metta meditation

Facilitator(s)

Hossen
Jiun Hosen
Jiun Hosen, Osho, began her formal training with Zen Master Joshu Sasaki Roshi in 1979 and has been in residence at the Bodhi Manda Zen Center since 1980. Hosen’s devotion to practice led her to become a Zen Priest or “Osho” formally recognized in a “Suijishiki” Ceremony at the Rinzai-ji Zen Center in Los Angeles, California on July 21, 1988. The following year Jiun Hosen was first appointed as Abbess to the Bodhi Manda Zen Center. Along with her primary focus of manifesting and teaching the practice of her own Buddhist tradition, she has opened the Bodhi to hosting retreats for sincere seekers, students and groups from many diverse paths, which has endeared her to the hearts of many.
Facilitator Placeholder
Daka Ziji
Ziji has been studying Yoga, Tantra and Buddhism for 19 years, and now offers eros-spirit massage, sacred intimacy and entheogenic medicine integration in his private practice and through Men In Touch. From 2010-12, he lived in Gampo Abbey, a Tibetan-Buddhist monastery in Nova Scotia under the guidance of Pema Chödron, a revered teacher in the Shambhala tradition. Ziji strives to create spaces where people feel safe, appreciated, and honoured in body, heart and mind. He is Persian-Canadian and committed to increasing diversity and belonging in the realm of sacred eroticism.
Lizz Randall
Lizz (she, they) is devoted to radical embodiment, authentic intimacy, and eros as life force. She offers a grounded, heart-centered, non-binary and often rebellious approach to teaching and facilitation.
Michael Lobsang
Michael Lobsang (he/they) is a Tibetan Buddhist translator, meditation instructor, Cultivating Emotional Balance (CEB) teacher, and student of EcoDharma and QueerDharma. Born in Siberia, he earned BA and MA degrees in South Asian studies, worked in social media and eventually received ordination in Nepal, spending nine years as a Tibetan Buddhist monastic before switching to the path of a lay teacher/practitioner. In addition to years of Buddhist studies and translator work, he also trained as a secular ethics and mindfulness instructor in the Netherlands, the UK and the US.
