SUMMARY:Art Show + Book Launch\, featuring Tanya Sugarman
DESCRIPTION:  \n \n“The Barry Tree”\, an enchantingly told and illustrated children’s book by Tanya Sugarman\, is a rare treat for children and adults of all ages. \nThe book describes the love between a little girl and her baby brother\, who share in richly illustrated flights of fancy. Sumptuous colors and dazzling designs enhance the imaginative language. Through word and image the reader experiences tales of the two children as they pretend to be circus acrobats and daring bareback riders. \nIllness and death are introduced with the greatest tact and sensitivity. The glorious adventures are sadly curtailed as little brother’s health fails. The author is careful to tell this part of the story in a safe and reassuring manner for her young readers. Beautiful words and images help the big sister\, as well as the reader\, find the consoling power in love and memory. \nTanya Sugarman is a lifelong educator as well as a mother and grandmother. Her deep sympathy with children has inspired her writing and illustrating. “The Barry Tree” is a book that celebrates the joys of imagination and adventure\, while also guiding the reader through difficult passages of loss. \nAnne Lefkovitz\, Retired Chair\,\nSchool District 65 Drama Department Drama Specialist and Fine Arts Coordinator\, Martin Luther King\, Jr. Laboratory School Evanston\, Illinois \n

SUMMARY:Special Class: Perspectives on the Heart Sutra
DESCRIPTION:“Choela” is an honorific for a Buddhist nun. In addition to participating in our regularly scheduled classes\, Choela will offer a special class on the Heart Sutra\, one of the core texts of Mahayana Buddhism. \nSaturday\, November 5 | 1:30pm – 3pm  \nThere is little doubt that the Heart Sutra is among the most frequently used and recited texts in the entire Mahayana Buddhist tradition. Yet every time we study it\, we learn something new. Choela Tenzin Dadon will lead us on an exploration of this profound and enigmatic text for three weeks beginning Saturday\, November 5\, from 11am to 12:30pm in the shrine room. The class will also meet on November 12 and November 19. \nA Bhutanese nun\, Choela Tenzin Dadon is an accomplished scholar and a gifted teacher. After completing a traditional 13-year program in Buddhist philosophy at Jamyang Choling Institute in Dharamsala\, India\, she went on to earn two Masters degrees and a PhD from the University of Malaysia\, and has published extensively under her lay name\, Sonam Wangmo. A global leader in the effort to improve gender equity in Buddhism\, and especially the fight to obtain full ordination for Tibetan Buddhist nuns\, she was recognized as one of the outstanding women in Buddhism by the International Women’s Meditation Center. Choela is currently the Director of Education for the Vajrayana Buddhist Council of Malaysia. She is fluent in English and four other languages\, as well as several Bhutanese dialects.

SUMMARY:Sunday Sangha
DESCRIPTION:Sunday Sangha led by Meditation Program Director\, Nancy Floy\n10:00am – 12:00pm (via Zoom until early May 2026) \nNancy will lead us in a few simple Buddhist chants and a guided meditation. Following meditation\, we will return to our new text\, Interbeing: Fourteen Guidelines for Engaged Buddhism by Thich Nhat Hanh. “Socially-engaged Buddhism” has become something of a buzzword in among many sanghas\, but what exactly does it mean? More importantly\, how do we practice it? Thich Nhat Hanh\, a Vietnamese Zen Buddhist monk\, created these practices to help people develop the insight of the interconnected nature of reality and the human experience\, which could then lead to a collective awakening. \nContact Larry Akey\, (Lakey0752@gmail.com) for key code to enter building or further information.

SUMMARY:Special Class: Perspectives on the Heart Sutra
DESCRIPTION:“Choela” is an honorific for a Buddhist nun. In addition to participating in our regularly scheduled classes\, Choela will offer a special class on the Heart Sutra\, one of the core texts of Mahayana Buddhism. \nSaturday\, November 5 | 1:30pm – 3pm  \nThere is little doubt that the Heart Sutra is among the most frequently used and recited texts in the entire Mahayana Buddhist tradition. Yet every time we study it\, we learn something new. Choela Tenzin Dadon will lead us on an exploration of this profound and enigmatic text for three weeks beginning Saturday\, November 5\, from 11am to 12:30pm in the shrine room. The class will also meet on November 12 and November 19. \nA Bhutanese nun\, Choela Tenzin Dadon is an accomplished scholar and a gifted teacher. After completing a traditional 13-year program in Buddhist philosophy at Jamyang Choling Institute in Dharamsala\, India\, she went on to earn two Masters degrees and a PhD from the University of Malaysia\, and has published extensively under her lay name\, Sonam Wangmo. A global leader in the effort to improve gender equity in Buddhism\, and especially the fight to obtain full ordination for Tibetan Buddhist nuns\, she was recognized as one of the outstanding women in Buddhism by the International Women’s Meditation Center. Choela is currently the Director of Education for the Vajrayana Buddhist Council of Malaysia. She is fluent in English and four other languages\, as well as several Bhutanese dialects.

SUMMARY:Sunday Sangha
DESCRIPTION:Sunday Sangha led by Meditation Program Director\, Nancy Floy\n10:00am – 12:00pm (via Zoom until early May 2026) \nNancy will lead us in a few simple Buddhist chants and a guided meditation. Following meditation\, we will return to our new text\, Interbeing: Fourteen Guidelines for Engaged Buddhism by Thich Nhat Hanh. “Socially-engaged Buddhism” has become something of a buzzword in among many sanghas\, but what exactly does it mean? More importantly\, how do we practice it? Thich Nhat Hanh\, a Vietnamese Zen Buddhist monk\, created these practices to help people develop the insight of the interconnected nature of reality and the human experience\, which could then lead to a collective awakening. \nContact Larry Akey\, (Lakey0752@gmail.com) for key code to enter building or further information.

SUMMARY:The Wakeful Body
DESCRIPTION:Somatic Awareness as a Path to Liberation \nAre you ready to get out of your head?  Tap into the innate wisdom of your body with simple\, down-to-earth practices.   \nBased on The Wakeful Body by Lama Willa Blythe Baker\, you will learn a way to meditate that is self-aware\, self-compassionate and fully embodied.  Meditation as a way of being.  Meditation that is always available to you — on the cushion\, on the yoga mat or on the street.   \nWe had the good fortune to learn these meditations directly from Lama Willa and we’re looking forward to sharing them with you.  Whether you are new to meditation or a seasoned practitioner\, we are sure you will find this meditative approach something you will return to again and again. \nUnless otherwise indicated\, all meditation classes at Heartwood are free and open to the public.  Of course\, your donations are gratefully accepted. \nFor more information\, contact Larry.
