Dear SAND Community,
A lot is happening in our world as the crisis spreads across our lives on a planetary scale. As we are all remaining in our homes, we would like to invite you to join us for a community get-together every Saturday at 10 AM PDT, where we can connect, reflect, meditate, nourish one another with our presence and create a field of resilience and mutual support. Each week we will have a different guest teacher who will bring their perspective and wisdom on the situation and help us connect and ground as a community. Let's remember that every crisis holds the seeds of birthing of new perspectives and new ways of being.
This coming Saturday we are delighted to have as guest teachers Julie Brown Yau and Betsy Polatin. Both Julie and Betsy are Somatic Experiencing therapists. We will explore with them, tools on how to recognize and cope with trauma in times of crisis. They will share deep wisdom and experience in working with healing trauma.
This meeting will be open to one thousand participants and will be recorded for later viewing.

Many of you have asked us to create additional space where we can share more intimately in small groups. Half an hour after the main event we will convene again, using the same zoom link and password. Our intention for these meetings is to create a safe container where we can share what is alive for us, reflect on some of the teachings we have received in the morning session and help each other stay grounded and connected. These meetings will be facilitated by Zaya, Maurizio and Gail Brenner.
