SUMMARY:Meditation and Chi Gong
DESCRIPTION:On Sunday mornings\, we have two offerings in our Meditation Room. \nFirst\, there is Chi Gong from 9 a.m. to 9:45 a.m. This practice is Chanting to clear organs and/or Chanting to clear chakras as originally taught by Dr. Steven Aung. Facilitated by Victoria Oginski. \nYou are also welcome to join us from 10 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. for silent meditation. \nFor the past nine years\, the group has been led by Victoria Oginski\, who has been a dedicated meditator for over 45 years. She is a Buddhist and has studied with many extraordinary Buddhist masters over the years in Canada\, Nepal\, India\, and Tibet. Although informed by Buddhist principles\, the facilitation is more universal in approach and everyone is welcome. \nThere is no formal fee\, but please consider dana (donation) to VanU or the Refugee Committee.

SUMMARY:Climate Activism.  What we can do to make an impact
DESCRIPTION:The impacts of a changing climate are in our faces daily. \nAre you anxious and not knowing what to do? \nHundreds of BC citizens took direct action against the fossil fuel perpetrators of the crisis and were arrested on Burnaby Mountain for opposition to TMX\, a pipeline carrying diluted bitumen from the tar sands to Burrard Inlet. \nThis forum will feature a panel of arrestees\, including members of VanU\, who will tell us what they did and why. Come for inspiration as we discuss best options for moving forward and for a challenge to step up in community in defense of a more secure future. \nThe anthology\, Standing on High Ground: Civil Disobedience on Burnaby Mountain\, containing first hand accounts and court testimonies of 25 arrestees\, will be available for sale. \n  \nThis forum is sponsored by the Environment Team.
