SUMMARY:Roshi Joan Halifax OFFSITE discusses Standing at the Edge: Finding Freedom Where Fear and Courage Meet
DESCRIPTION:Roshi Joan Halifax OFFSITE discusses Standing at the Edge: Finding Freedom Where Fear and Courage Meet\, with Gaetano Maida\, sponsored by KPFA\, St. John’s Presbyterian Church\, and Mindful Schools.\n\n\n\n\nAdvance tickets: $12 : brownpapertickets.com :: T: 800-838-3006 Books Inc/Berkeley\, Pegasus (3 sites)\, Moe’s\, Walden Pond Bookstore\, Mrs. Dalloway’s. East Bay Books\, $15 door\, Wheelchair Access \n\n\n\n\n\n\nStanding at the Edge is an evocative examination of how we can respond to suffering\, live our fullest lives\, and remain open to the full spectrum of our human experience. \nJoan Halifax has enriched thousands of lives around the world through her work as a humanitarian\, a social activist\, an anthropologist\, and as a Buddhist teacher. Over many decades\, she has also collaborated with neuroscientists\, clinicians\, and psychologists to understand how contemplative practice can be a vehicle for social transformation. Through her unusual background\, she developed an understanding of how our greatest challenges can become the most valuable source of our wisdom–and how we can transform our experience of suffering into the power of compassion for the benefit of others. \nRecounting the experiences of caregivers\, activists\, humanitarians\, politicians\, parents\, and teachers\, incorporating the wisdom of Zen traditions and mindfulness practices\, and rooted in Halifax’s groundbreaking research on compassion\, Standing at the Edge is destined to become a contemporary classic. A powerful guide on how to find the freedom we seek for others and ourselves\, it is a book that will serve us all. \nRoshi Joan Halifax\, Ph.D.\, is a Buddhist teacher\, Zen priest and anthropologist. She is Founder\, Abbot\, and Head Teacher of Upaya Institute and Zen Center in Santa Fe\, New Mexico. She was a Distinguished Visiting Scholar at the Library of Congress and is currently the founder of Upaya Prison Project and the Nomads Clinic in Nepal. \nGaetano Kazuo Maida is the founder and executive director of Buddhist Film Foundation\, which has produced its International Buddhist Film \nFestival in ten cities on three continents. A photographer and filmmaker\, his credits include: producer/director of Peace Is Every Step—The Life and Work of Thich Nhat Hanh.

SUMMARY:Vijaya Nagarajan presents Feeding a Thousand Souls: Women\, Ritual and Ecology in India--An Exploration of the Kolam
DESCRIPTION:Vijaya Nagarajan presents Feeding a Thousand Souls: Women\, Ritual and Ecology in India–An Exploration of the Kolam\, the first comprehensive book in English on the kolam\, a ritual rice flour drawing created by Tamil women.\n\n\n\n\nTo reserve your seat\, purchase a copy of Feeding a Thousand Souls by speaking to a bookseller or ordering via our website. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvery day millions of Tamil women in southeast India wake up before dawn to create a kolam\, an ephemeral ritual design made with rice flour\, on the thresholds of homes\, businesses and temples. This thousand-year-old ritual welcomes and honors Lakshmi\, the goddess of wealth and alertness\, and Bhudevi\, the goddess of the earth. Created by hand with great skill\, artistry\, and mathematical precision\, the kolam disappears in a few hours\, borne away by passing footsteps and hungry insects. \nThis book examines the kolam’s significance in historical\, mathematical\, ecological\, anthropological\, and literary contexts. The culmination of Vijaya Nagarajan’s many years of research and writing on this exacting ritual practice\, Feeding a Thousand Souls celebrates the experiences\, thoughts\, and voices of the Tamil women who keep this tradition alive. \nVijaya Nagarajan is an associate professor in the Department of Theology/Religious Studies and in the Program of Environmental Studies at the University of San Francisco. She lives in Berkeley.
