To check your time zone: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html You are welcome to join any or all sessions or listen to the recordings afterwards. 30 minutes guided meditation, usually with some silence, followed by 15 minutes for sharing. Deep rest meditation taps into awareness that is already here. Sometimes one can rest into this underlying awareness by relaxing, releasing into the ground, or tuning into spaciousness. And even when relaxation or literally rest doesn't come, we are part of a wider life, not only made of our own loudest thoughts and emotions. Welcome as we are, we can practice noticing "what else is here?" A texture, the soundscape, a memory of a life-giving quality such as gratitude, or an innermost sense of what is important. And what else is here? The openness of awareness, of aliveness beyond ideas. COSTS AND THE WAY OF GENEROSITY TOWARDS A CULTURE OF CONNECTION AND MUTUAL SUPPORT: Generosity doubled ~ We are opening the online programs on even more of a donation basis than usual. We are offering everything—both Jaya's teachings and the essential organizational support through Open Dharma—on generosity: without a fixed or sliding scale cost. In this time of increasing disruption and profit-seeking, we are gambling on radical trust. We think it’s important to create sustainable culture and free spaces for exploration, in depth, of what is most important. We hope you’re with us in this adventure. Donations for Open Dharma: We know Open Dharma is a space that feels like home to many people. What is it like to treat the Open Dharma space almost as a living organism that many diverse people are part of, each in our own way and timing? Instead of suggesting the usual sliding-scale registration fee for Open Dharrma, this time we are happily and radically asking you for your freely given support to Open Dharma as a non-profit organization. Open Dharma needs income to help support the people who take care of all the steps that make this event real—registration forms, social media posters and posts, recordings created and stored and shared, accounts submitted to authorities, scholarships for someone who needs one, and so on. Donations for the teachings: In the same way, as a teacher, Jaya welcomes your offerings of financial support, rather than charging for teachings. She was able to dedicate all the time necessary to create the audio courses because of individual offerings of monthly, yearly or one-time gifts. And through past and present financial support, She is available now to dedicate the many hours involved in creating this and other spaces for meditation and awakening.
