Bringing Joy and Energy to Our Life
Offered online (for members only) and in-person (for everyone)
$15 per class, free for supporting members
Live only - no replays
A consistent and regular meditation practice has the power to profoundly transform our mind and our life. However, to develop such a practice depends on learning to deeply enjoy our meditation and Dharma study. In this summer series, we will be exploring Buddha teachings on joyful effort, which give us special tools for bringing joy and energy to our meditation and our life.
Each session will include guided meditations, a talk, discussion and an opportunity to ask questions.
Everybody welcome.

Transforming Anger and Hurt into Spiritual Power
Why do we respond to feelings of hurt and rejection by becoming angry? Clearly we think that anger will protect us. However, in truth it does the opposite. It locks us even deeper into our experience of being overwhelmed, makes us feel worse about ourselves, and leads us to say and do things that exacerbate the problem and that we will later regret.
In this series, through talks, guided meditations and discussions, we will explore far more successful strategies for dealing with hurt and disappointment. We will discover how rather than getting swept up in our anger we can transform that impulse into a flexible, peaceful and clear-minded response. Such a skillful response not only brings resolution and creates harmony, it also enables us transcend our feelings of hurt within we so often feel stuck.
Everybody welcome.
