2nd Event with Hae Kwang Sunim
Mastering Mind: Learn the HOW TO of 'Living Zen & Inner Peace' - Go Deeper
Sunday, Dec. 8, 2019
12:30-2:30pm, please arrive by 12:15pm
Cost: $15, please click here to RSVP on meetup
In this class, Hae Kwang Sunim will share his many amazing teachings of Zen and QiGong Healing which he learned while living in the monasteries abroad as he studied and trained to become a Monk. Learn HOW to access the stillness and Qi vitality that is your birthright. Please note that this class is a talk, and does not involve meditation practice.
In very practical language this class emphasizes tools and essential / experiential Zen mechanics to bring peace and harmony back into one’s daily life.
Topics discussed will also include:
- What increases ‘Monkey Mind’ and strengthens unsupportive thought patterns in our rotating mental / psychological orbit.
- How to untie painful knots and access True Self. Ego 101 and instructions on the skillful use of the Zen scalpel that liberate us from so many judgmental, limiting beliefs.
- Zen, releasing & inner freedom: Mind and the two operating systems; how to address acidic ‘holding patterns’ and the body’s residual (energetic) karmic pull which can keep us stuck and limits deeper spiritual insights from arising.
- An exploration of the deeper aspects of ego, its maturation and Velcro hold in the body-mind. It also addresses the ‘backward step’ to the boundless fundamental consciousness and freedom beyond the ego’s karmic pull.
All are welcome!
Hae Kwang Sunim started training at the age of 18 in Thailand. He has taken full seminary and in temple training, with graduated ordinations (including Bhikkhu ordination) under Patriarch Kun Sunim in South Korea. He spent over 25 years distilling the deepest and hardest to grasp teachings into a simplified language so it can be taught and effectively applied directly in daily life. In 2005, the 19th Headquarters in Korea appointed Venerable Hae Kwang as Director of Bo Kwang Zen Center Palm Springs, U.S.A. In 2013, the Western Bhikkhus Council nominated Hae Kwang Sunim 교구장 Kyo Goo Jahng of all American-European Temples (closest english translation: North American-European Oversight Head / Bishop / Director).
Hae Kwang Sunim drew from the most effective mind-body teachings he acquired from studying under different teachers in the East, including the teachings of Wat Bua Luang in Thailand. The methodology is based on the ancient Eastern principles of Hai Palung (Energy Healing), Pon Klie Kwan Sow (Emotional Release), Meditation, Food Based Healing and the importance of compassion, gratitude, oneness, outreach and the need to support the whole person holistically - body, mind and spirit.

Winter Solstice Celebration
A Healing Dance Journey
This is a special event to invite you on a journey to cultivate inner peace and stillness, a well that can nourish you throughout the season. During winter, many people feel blue, let's embrace peace and quietness to create more happiness...!
In the same way that we preserve beans, peaches, pickles and jam for the long winter, let’s come together and dance during this auspicious time, cultivate peace and preserve the joy that we generate together to illuminate our hearts for the long winter.
In this celebration you will experience:
• Movement in a circle where we co-create a safe and sacred space
• Gentle yoga infused with dance and free movement
• A manifestation dance to breathe life into your intentions for 2020
• A dance journey to cultivate gratitude, peace and joy for the hidden gifts of Winter
The glowing tranquil candles will beckon you to enter sacred space. With an open mind and heart, you will feel safe and welcome. We will gather in the circle to share our collective energy and honour each other’s presence in a non-judgemental way. Our journey together will begin with a mindful gentle yoga flow. We will explore how our body’s movement can lead us into a dance flow in a way that brings peace and joy!
In the sacred circle, a story will guide you through the healing dance journey. The steps are easy to follow and can be modified based on your body’s needs. Listen to your body’s guidance and honour what your body can do. If you wish and choose to receive the collective healing energy, there will be spaces in the centre of the circle to sit or lie down. Create embodied memories of peace and joy that you can return to again and again during the winter season. You can always come back to your memories of this celebration!
Please bring a journal if you wish to jot down your happy experiences from 2019, and bring your list of wishes and intention for the year 2020; wear comfortable clothing; everyone is welcome to dress up for dancing (re. dress, skirt or loose comfortable pants/yoga pants); bring water.
