SUMMARY:Spiritual Study: Do Not Mistake the Finger for the Moon - Part 1 of 3
DESCRIPTION:ONLINE and IN-PERSON with Mia Velez\, E-RYT 500 \n$5-20 sliding scale  \nBook now/OnlinePlease register in advance: a Zoom link will be emailed 1 hour before the session\, or join Zoom directly via your Momence dashboard. \nBook now/In-PersonWe appreciate advance registration. \nAll 3 sessions – offered individually \n\nMonday\, October 19 ⋅ 6:30 – 7:45pm\nMonday\, October 26 ⋅ 6:30 – 7:45pm Book now\nMonday\, November 2 ⋅ 6:30 – 8:00pm Book now\n\nA Zen Buddhist saying reminds us that spiritual teachings are like the finger that points to an object; and the moon (the object) is the goal of spiritual practice. In this 3 part series\, we examine the teachings and study some of our beloved teachers with the understanding that humanity has endured colonial\, racial\, and sexual oppression for millennia. These conditions then get encoded in our sacred texts and even in the behavior of our teachers; which can obscure our connection to Spirit\, and delay our true healing.\nIn discussion\, our hope is to define what exactly is our goal in spiritual practice because sometimes\, when we dwell on the teachings or deify our teachers\, we often miss the purpose of Spirituality.\nIf you are local\, please come in person to enhance our connection (snacks will be provided).\nThe Yoga Spiritual Study series is an offering in which participants learn and discuss how the teachings of Yoga apply to our daily lives. We read passages from scriptures of Yoga and other ancient and contemporary spiritual texts\, take time to reflect upon them\, and share with each other how these words and practices support us on the spiritual path. All are welcome to join any one or all of the sessions. These sessions will not be recorded.\n\nMia Velez\, E-RYT 500\, entered the Integral Yoga Sangha in 2016 through the kitchen by helping to cook Thursday community lunches and silent retreat meals. In 2018 she was certified as an Integral Yoga teacher to learn more of the IYI approach and be part of the lineage. Mia is a disciple of the Moy Yat Ving Tsun Kung Fu lineage and is highly influenced by her martial arts training. After completing her first 200-hour teacher training in 2008\, she began to see undeniable parallels in Yoga and Kung Fu. When she began teaching Kung Fu in 2014\, she incorporated Yoga insight and principles in her classes. Her goal in teaching is to connect with the students and to facilitate a safe space for exploration and self-inquiry. Yoga and Kung Fu are integrated into her daily life as a mother\, a preschool teacher\, and an advocate for gender\, race\, and class equality through multiple non-profit groups.
