SUMMARY:Pride Parade
DESCRIPTION:Yay! Our first time marching as a community\, supporting our LGBTQ+ community. Letting Palm Springs know that we are here as a refuge for all people\, especially those marginalized by dominant culture. And! We get to march with our friends from UUCOD and Desert Outreach Synagogue.  We will be walking behind our new banner (pictured above)\, wearing our new ICD t-shirts. \n\nIf you would like to march with us\, please attend our organizing meeting on Sunday\, October 27 @ 6 pm (just after the Dharma talk).  We’ll tell you when and where you need to meet on parade day\, share the safety details and distribute t-shirts. We have ordered shirts for those on our sign-up list\, but don’t worry if you are not on the list.  We ordered extra shirts.  Please be prepared to reimburse us $20 for each shirt. \nWe’re very excited to march as a community: LGBTQ+ and straight allies we can all celebrate together. \n

SUMMARY:On Race and Racism:  Going to the Core
DESCRIPTION:On Race and Racism: Going to the Core continues the work begun by the Waking Up White course. It is conducted in 3 sessions:\nFriday\, October 18 at 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm\nSaturday\, October 19 at 8:30 am – 5 pm\nSaturday\, October 26 at 8:30 am – 5 pm\nLauren N. Nile\, the African-American facilitator\, has requested that the course be open only to people who identify as white. She believes that affinity groups provide the safe\, non-judgmental environment necessary to dialogue honestly about the issues of race and racism.  The goal of White affinity and People of Color affinity groups is to increase awareness of personal unconscious bias\, and thus build greater sensitivity to racial issues.\n\nLauren will offer and facilitate an affinity group for People of Color in the coming months.\n\nThe course addresses thirteen issues. Each issue is presented in the form of a question. Each question is examined through presentations\, deep dialogue\, journal writing\, personal sharing\, or meditation. Although the course focuses on racism experienced by Africans and African Americans\, other forms of oppression are respectfully acknowledged. Racism is not placed on a “hierarchy of oppression”.\nRegister Now \nCost: The registration fee for this event is $75-95. This fee does not fully cover the teachings. A dana (voluntary donations) may be made at the event\, and we encourage you to offer as much support of generosity as you are able. Please know that our policy is that no one is ever turned away for lack of funds. You may contact the event coordinator if you need a full scholarship.\n\n \n \nLauren N. Nile co-facilitated the final session of the Waking Up White course.  The focus of the session was on Non-Violent Communication with an emphasis on communication between people of different races. Lauren is an author\, trainer\, keynote speaker and retired attorney.  Since 1990\, she has conducted workshops for nonprofit organizations\, educational institutions\, governmental agencies and Fortune 500 corporations.   Her workshops focused on creating environments in which understanding and kindness are valued regardless of demographic differences.\n\nLauren focuses her community-based trainings on one topic – the oneness of humanity. The goal of her work is to help the human species mature beyond bigotry and violence through the understanding of our profound human oneness. She believes that wisdom and compassion result from that understanding.  Lauren is deeply committed to help all people see the Divine in themselves and themselves in each other.\n\n

SUMMARY:CANCELLED:  Cool Off and Refresh During A Day of Practice with Lorene Jabola
DESCRIPTION:In the midst of a desert summer day\, we might find ourselves with unquenchable thirst\, overheated\, and exhausted. Under such conditions\, our practice might be off-kilter\, too! During this daylong our practice will be our focus as we caringly provide ourselves the space\, time\, and support to replenish mindfulness practice in the company of like-minded friends.\n\nThe theme of the day will be “Nibbana – Cooling Off.” The day will be similar to what one might experience on an extended residential retreat: alternating between periods of sitting\, walking\, Dharma reflections\, and heart meditations. There will be practical skills instructions and opportunities for questions/answers.\n\nCost: The registration fee for this event is $40 with a sliding scale. This fee is shared with the teacher\, however does not mean the costs of the event or the teachings are fully covered. A dana offering (voluntary donation) may be made at the event\, and we encourage you to offer as much support of generosity as you are able. Please know that our policy is that no one is ever turned away for lack of funds.You may contact the event coordinator if you need a full scholarship.\nRegister \n\n		\n			\n				\n			\n			\n		 \n		\n			Teacher: Lorene M.
