Spiritual Warriorship: Buddhist Based Practices for Defending Self and Others

IN PERSON

Saturday March 7 (9am-5pm) and Sunday March 8 (12-5pm) (EST)

In these times of increasing authoritarianism, polarization,
and violence, we are committed to engaging and offering practices that help us
collectively maneuver with strength, suppleness, and clarity—without
reproducing patterns of violence. Learning to navigate conflict, de-escalate
stressful situations, and defend and protect ourselves and others when needed,
is a compassionate, transformative healing stance that sits at the root of many
contemplative, spiritual, and martial traditions. Drawing on the Tibetan
Buddhist archetype of the spiritual warrior, this workshop will help
participants deepen their capacity for unwavering compassion; access and embody
their relational power; understand their habitual patterns or “shape” under
threat; and navigate interpersonal conflict with more clarity and care. This is
a highly embodied and experiential workshop that will also include training in
specific self-defense techniques.

Instructor Bios:

Brooke D. Lavelle, Ph.D. is Union Theological Seminary’s new Buddhist Studies Program Manager. A long-time student and teacher of Tibetan Buddhism, Brooke is the Co-Founder of Courage of Care and Co-Editor of The Arrow Journal, bringing deep experience at the intersection of contemplative practice, justice, and community building. She holds a Ph.D. in Buddhist Studies and Embodied Cognition and grounds her practice and facilitation approach in the body and in context. She loves to work with individuals on shifting frameworks in order to open up possibilities for both personal practice and liberatory work. For many years she studied, taught, and researched the diversity of compassion practices and their related
frameworks of liberation in K-12 education, and has experience leading national
and international political, educational, and climate justice projects. As a
former dancer and current student of martial arts (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Muay
Thai), she loves helping people (re)discover their inner sense of power and
love and reawaken their commitment to treating others with dignity, care, and
compassion.

Paloma Schultz (she/her) is third-degree black belt in Brazilian
Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), and has been teaching BJJ and Self-Defense for women for over
a decade, creating spaces where safety, confidence, and body awareness can
grow. She is a Reiki Master with more than 10 years of experience in energy
healing, and a practitioner of restorative practices and conflict
resolution—especially within families and communities. As a certified Family
and Organizational Constellations Facilitator, she specializes in healing
intergenerational trauma and revealing hidden dynamics that influence our
lives. Paloma practiced law in Brazil before embracing her true calling in
holistic healing. As an immigrant and a mother, Paloma understand the
resilience it takes to rebuild, nurture, and grow—both personally and in
relationship with others. https://www.palomaschultz.net/
