It’s almost time for our annual Buddhist Studies program! We have an amazing line up of teachers, and each is bringing a unique area of focus.

Along with the History and Transmission of Buddhism across Asia, Dr. Constance Kassor will be exploring the Bhavanakram. Also known as “The Stages of Meditation,” this seminal text by Kamalashila covers the prerequisites for meditation: Compassion and Bodhichitta, Shamatha (one-pointed meditation), Vipassana (insight), and the result of practice (enlightenment).

Sharon Salzberg will be teaching the Four Noble Truths: the truth of suffering, the cause of suffering, the end of suffering, and the Noble 8 Fold Path to freedom.

Jacquie Brown will lead us through the Brahmaviharas, the four core virtues and meditation practices that cultivate a boundless heart. Loving Kindness, Compassion, Joy, Equanimity.

Kate Johnson will focus on the 10 Paramis or Perfections. These are the 10 “Enlightened Qualities:” Generosity, Virtue, Renunciation, Wisdom, Energy, Patience, Truthfulness, Determination, Lovingkindness, and Equanimity.

Take the whole course or drop into any class. All info on our website. All are welcome.

A gentle invitation to slow down, soften and come back to yourself. Yoga nidra is a restful meditation that creates space for us to let go. From there, the gentle sound of the bowls will surround you and is designed to support deep relaxation, nervous system regulation and a feeling of being held.
No experience necessary. No expectations. Nothing to achieve.
Just breathe, receive and let yourself rest.

Class cards or $28.

With the wonderful Alene Herman
