Embodied Dharma:

What dance can teach us about mindfulness
with Kan Yan

APOLOGIES FOR THE INCORRECT DAY IN THE PREVIOUS E-MAIL - THE CORRECT DAY IS THURSDAY JULY 9TH.

Thursday, July 9th, 2020
Starting at 6:00 pm
During the regular virtual Thursday Night Sit


Often times our practice is associated with sitting still. Yet in the Mahāsatipaṭṭhāna Sutta the Buddha advises practitioners that "[w]hatever posture their body is in, they know it" and to act "with situational awareness when going out and coming back; when looking ahead and aside; when bending and extending the limbs" (DN 22). Many of us live in a culture that emphasizes the mind over the body in our awareness. Together we will explore how contemplative embodiment and movement can nourish our individual and collective liberation.

Kan Yan has been practicing mindfulness meditation for over a decade in various Zen and Insight traditions both in the US and Asia. He has a meditation teacher certification from the Interdependence Project and participated in Spirit Rock's Advanced Practitioner Program. He has worked as a documentary filmmaker, an international humanitarian for the United Nations, a lawyer for the US Federal Courts, and a management consultant for McKinsey & Company where he designed and facilitated mindful leadership retreats for senior executives. He is also an avid dancer and teaches contact improvisation, which has been as influential as silent retreat in deepening his understanding of the dharma.
