Living Beyond Limitations

This class is offered in person only

$10 per class, free for supporting members

Who we are depends very much on who we think we are. If you think about it, even in a single day, we change all the time. Now I am angry. Now I am happy. Now I am bored. Now I am confused. Which one are you?

Through learning Buddha’s practical insights into how we really exist and who we can become, we can harness the natural process of self-transformation and make it work in our favor. Instead of pushing or struggling with ourselves and trying to change through willpower alone, we can make real, sustained, and smooth changes from the inside out and, in the process, experience more profound levels of joy and fulfillment.

During this meditation series, through teachings and guided meditations we will explore the profoundly transformative and amazing meditation on the emptiness of the body and the emptiness of the self.

Everyone from complete beginners to advanced meditators is welcome!

A Love Less Ordinary

How to make all your relationships more loving, light and meaningful.

Now that we are shifting back to actual face-to-face relationships, what better time to see if we can’t improve those relationships? In addition to face-to-face, how about heart-to-heart?

Although we always seek happiness in our close relationships, so many of those relationships wind up burdened with too much of the opposite: Unhappiness. According to Buddha this is because we often confuse desirous attachment for love. Desirous attachment is a deluded, unpeaceful state of mind that sees the other people as our source of happiness, and consequently expects these people to make us happy. But it is a con job. Happiness doesn’t come from other people. It comes from our own mind. Desirous attachment undermines our love for family, friends and others, making those relationships ordinary and setting us up for dissatisfaction and conflict again and again.

In this series, we will learn how to recognize and reduce our desirous attachment and to replace it with an authentic love that actually does reveal pure happiness. We will experience a love less ordinary and discover how all our relationships can become extraordinary – extraordinary and crucial components of an extraordinary life.
