SUMMARY:Life Before Birth – How Womb Experience Shapes Us
DESCRIPTION:LIFE BEFORE BIRTH\nA Virtual Exploration of How Womb Experience Shapes Us\nwith Bonni Ross\nOnline Course available from\nSeptember 12 to October 24, 2021\nThis course is FULL and Registration is closed.\nSix Recorded Classes, with an App-based Feedback Loop\nThis is a pilot project offered with the support of the Wangapeka BOT and its Program Committee\n \nThe period from conception to emergence, Namgyal Rinpoche declared, creates a matrix of patterning within which our lives unfold. The basis for physical and mental health, sexuality and our views on everything from philosophy to food are seeded in the womb.\nThese experiences do not happen to “you,” because “you” as a separate, self-aware being developed gradually after birth. It is relatively easy to contact events that we remember. But what about the blind spots? How do you meet with conditioning that happened before there was a self-reflecting ego?\nThis online study will be based in the Sutra App. Instructions will be provided to those who register how to connect with the app and access these teachings. Class recordings will be posted there, as will suggestions for simple explorations you can do if you wish. In addition, all members of the circle will be able to post their questions, comments and complaints, as well as creative expression, on Sutra.\nCosts\nThe Wangapeka Educational Trust is generously offering this course at no cost. Dana, the traditional practice of generosity, may be offered to the teacher and the Wangapeka.\nParticipants will be given instructions to enable offerings to be made.\nAbout Dana\nThese priceless teachings can’t be quantified in monetary terms. Liberation teachings have always been given freely by Bonni.\nAn offering can be made to the teacher, traditionally at the beginning, and is a profound practice in itself. Giving can help us open; and through an open-hearted state of receptivity, we can find ourselves more able to receive.\nGiving as generously as you can enables Bonni to continue sharing the precious Buddhadharma for the benefit of all.\nAbout Bonni Ross\nBonni Ross has taught extensively at the Wangapeka over the last 30 years and is a deeply respected ‘Centre Elder ‘. She guides individuals in developing focused and skillful meditation and leads retreats for depth unfoldment.\nBonni began exploring the teachings of liberation in the early sixties. In the mid 70’s she met her principal teacher, Venerable Namgyal Rinpoche, whose direct, eclectic teaching and example are central to her life. Bonni teaches from a deep wealth of meditative experience. She communicates with sensitivity, creativity and humour in a way that resonates with each individual present.\nBonni is one of the founders of the dharmasphere collective and one of the visionaries behind the innovative project ‘2020 A Year of Clear Vision’.\nShe is inspired by ‘ordinary’ people who demonstrate exceptional courage and compassion in the midst of great suffering. Somewhat unexpectedly, Bonni now finds herself living in Nelson, and is currently deeply engaged in studying Maoritanga.\nRegistration\nFor registration, please contact the course manager Matthew Eades by email: mattheweades2@icloud.com ( mailto:mattheweades2@icloud.com )\nRegistration will be limited to thirty people. REGISTRATION IS CLOSED.\n\nBanner Image: Jeremy Bishop on Unsplash\n
