Exploring the Tree of Contemplative Practices

We are pleased to present the onset of Awaken Pittsburgh’s new series beginning October 8, 2022. This series draws inspiration from the Tree of Contemplative Practices graphic from the Center for Contemplative Mind and Society, which we reference in our core trainings.

Fitzhugh Shaw will guide us in exploring this topic. Together we will consider questions such as “How do we begin to practice?” and “How do we create a space that holds our spiritual work, our everyday lives, and all that we are?” During this time together, we will discuss topics such as protection, resourcing, invitation, and reflecting on our motivations in order to best support our work.

This series is an opportunity for folks who are interested in Mindfulness to widen their range of practice experiences and deepen relationships with one another.

The Exploring the Tree of Contemplative Practice series will run, in-person and online, on the first Saturday of each month from October - May

About our presenter:
Fitzhugh Shaw lives uphill from Andrew Carnegie’s first steel mill in Braddock, Pennsylvania, with his wife and kid. He’s a white descendant of Chickasaw and Scottish ancestors. He’s an urban farmer engaged in food justice, soil-building, and land healing. He’s also an ancestor-wrangler, writer, artist, and frequent napper. He takes care of a dog, a cat, a school of catfish, two humans, and a lot of plant people. In his scholarship, Fitzhugh explores intersections between peoples’ histories, ritual practice, political movements, and food systems. In his fiction, he dreams of histories of a liberatory future. His art practice wonders about the kinds of listening that are possible when we release our purity and security blankets. He is curious about the rituals of his ancestors and how to mix their wisdom with Buddhist wisdom without tokenizing either. Currently, he manages a large, urban market garden for a Black-led, Black-serving non-profit in Pittsburgh through which he teaches agriculture and food literacy. He sometimes writes at foodpower.site.

This series runs on the first Saturday of each month
from October - May.
