As I am collecting resources from all the newsletters I receive I think instead of boredom I am getting Fomo... ? As I'm working for happiness.com I get a lot of related newsletters with really nice offers but when should I ever do all of that. Well, that's one thing to be grateful right there. Having too many options to choose from! Wow!

  • Plum Village offers a great resource of recorded Dharma talks and guided meditations to watch on youtube
  • mindfulleader.org offers regular meditation sessions for which you can signup here and lots of other great resources like articles

Here I updated my earlie posts so that the live events are grouped together

I attended "facing uncertainty with Frank Ostaseski" yesterday. I have to report that it was amazing. A short meditation, a talk by him about the five invitations and breakout circles with around six people in each group sharing our ideas around those. 

5 stars! Highly recommended!

 

Those "A dose of togetherness" meetings are organized by Reimagine (Reimagine envisions a world in which we are all able to reflect on why we're here, prepare for a time when we won't be, and live fully right up until the end.) in partnership with the Greater Good Science Center at UC Berkely (with whom we are also partnering by regularly sharing some of their amazing articles on the happiness magazine.) They take place on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. 

Sign up here if you are sure to attend as places are filling up fast.

In my experience so far - maybe because I am retired anyway - I am busier than ever.

There's so much to do in the garden, I am trying to maintain a bit of a daily movement practice and daily meditation and then there are the many events that are suddenly available. I might just call it quarantine fomo. It looks like for some it's a time for boredom and forced intorspection and for others exactly the opposite. I can only imagine how it would be with small kids trying to juggle homeoffice tasks in addition.

However I'll be squeezing in a workshop today but it is in German. It's organized by creative mornings which is a worldwide movement offering lectures for the creative community. Check it out. ?

I joined most of the Embodied yoga summit sessions last week and it was AMAZING!

From May 16-20 there's another FREE online event series called The Embodied Connection Conference.

It's probably completely unrelated to the above mentioned summit, but I have high hopes. Who else wants to join? ?

@Candy I have signed up, but I don't know how much time I can make for sessions. ? There's a lot happening, but I attended an embodiment session once and found it really insightful, so I'll try my best to participate.

06.05.2020 2pm ET 8pm CET Finding Calm and Contentment in Turbulent Times with Rick Hanson. The author of "Hardwiring happiness" and "Buddha’s Brain" one of the authors in our Top 10 Mindfulness books. This event is organized by the Shambhala Mountain Center.

each wednesday 7:30pm EDT 1:30am CET Tara Brach hosts a meditation class each Wednesday - 30min of Vipassana meditation and a 1h Dharma Talk. Tara Brach hosted an Online Satsang but it was full within the shortest time.

Tonight I'll be attending Finding Calm and Contentment in Turbulent Times with Rick Hanson. I am trying to attend 1 to 2 classes per week. This sounds like very little, but despite not going out I seem to have no extra time on my hands.

On Saturday at 8pm CET there is a live Satsang with Tara Brach that I signed up for. Which is already sold out again. This is not for free. Though 5 - 15$ are reasonable. Especially give how many of her talks and guided meditations I have listend to for free.

09.05.2020 - 09.07.2020 Reimagine: Life, Loss, & Love I have attended several of their "Dose of togetherness" events and they are really wholesome and building connection over tough topics. I will let their vision speak for them: "Reimagine envisions a world in which we are all able to reflect on why we’re here, prepare for a time when we won’t be, and live fully through the end. In facing death, we begin to live fully."

Thanks for the many helpful links. My job is frequent business trips, so it will be useful for me to have something to fill my time on the road)) By the way, is there someone who started learning a foreign language now? Is it really possible to do it yourself without visiting a teacher?

I haven't tried learning a foreign language myself, but I heard there are a few different apps that might be useful. I'm sure there are also teachers offering online courses now that there might be restrictions about meeting in person, so that could also be worth looking into! ?

I have been using several app like memrise or duolingo. They are great for learning vocabulary and also listening and pronounciation but when it comes to learning the grammar they don't really work too well.
