Cultivating Joy and Grace in Uncertainty
Can we live with uncertainty, not from a place of fear but from a place of buoyancy, curiosity and ease? How can the teachings provide practical ways of coping with these various threats? How can we cultivate joy in uncertainty, instead of battling it in the doomed hope of clinging to certainties that ultimately will not last? Uncertainty itself is utterly certain – and this can be a refuge.
Watering the Seeds of Forgiveness
This intensive class, held in a supportive and nurturing environment, will explore the nature of resentment and aversion we may have toward ourselves and others as a result of past actions. Through self-compassion and forgiveness, we can learn to let go of these harmful feelings, allowing our innate kindness to shine through.

Insight 101-- Six Week Beginner Course
A class for beginning meditators and those curious about the Buddhist approach to meditation
Six Tuesday Evenings
6:30PM-8:30PM
This course will provide fundamental instruction in insight meditation. Emphasis is placed on the practices of sitting and walking meditation and developing mindfulness in daily life. Explanation and discussion of the Buddhist teachings central to insight meditation are part of each class. The course is appropriate for beginners as well as experienced meditators who wish to maintain their “beginner’s mind.”
The teachings of the Buddha have an experiential emphasis. It is not a question of believing that practicing meditation is beneficial, but of actually trying it out and experiencing the results for oneself. Insight meditation is a way to develop wisdom and compassion. The core of the practice is the cultivation of mindfulness. In the past few years, there has been a great increase in the study of mindfulness and its benefits. This class is appropriate to all with an interest in meditation and everyone is welcome.

[PART 4] An Unapologetically Buddhist Approach to Mindfulness: Mapping Experience
There is far more to the Satipatthana Sutta that is apparent, or ever explicit, in most secular mindfulness courses. This will be an opportunity to explore the teachings in the fuller context of the Buddha’s presentation, unimpeded. Though all Four Satipatthanas overlap, each section will dive into one while relating to the others. You may register for all 20 weeks, or to any of the parts, which can stand alone.
