Details

Hope this message finds you well our friends.

We have had women request a women’s Dharma Workshop, so we’ve decided to try it. We will meet once a month on a Saturday from 12 to 1 pm PST. The format will be brief self-introductions, a dharma slideshow presentation by Lori, followed by questions on the dharma. I will moderate. If you’d like to join us, please send an email to BOTH [bitadharma22@gmail.com](http://mailto:bitae22@hotmail.com/) and [itsadeal58@gmail.com](http://mailto:itsadeal58@gmail.com/). One email, two recipients is what we’re looking for. In your email, please tell us the following: (1) the names of the Dharma Lab meetups you usually attend, (2) about how many Buddhism meetups you have attended, and (3) where you consider yourself to be along your Buddhist path (e.g. I meditate 3 times a week; I have read extensively about Tibetan Buddhism; I chant twice a day every day; I tried Zen Buddhism, I clean my space every day, I join one of Bita and Yuichi’s meetups each week, etc.); (4) if you’re a contributing member, please let us know. Be sure to sign it with your whole name, especially if you have an email like “itsadeal58”! I don’t want to address you as Ms It Sadeal, that would be rude. Please join us, I think we can make it a good experience for everyone. I’m looking forward to it!
Usually there are 10-20 women who join us. You won't see all the RSVPs on this page so don't be discouraged by the few RSVPs here! See you soon.This event is about women's empowerment and moving on from a place of hurt to a place of leadership all thanks to the healing power of the Dharma.
I’m Lori. I have been studying Buddhism with Bita and Yuichi for a few years now. I am a retired research chemist and I study French in my spare time (j’adore France). If you’re interested in learning more about mindfulness, or want to learn to meditate, I’m available to help you. I can be reached at [itsadeal58@gmail.com](http://mailto:itsadeal58@gmail.com/), and Bita can be reached at [bitadharma22@gmail.com](http://mailto:bitae22@hotmail.com/) for 1:1 Dharma lessons.
Also some of our premium YouTube members can't join our meetups live so we're planning to record and upload to our YouTube channel. Please consider to subscribe and join us:
