Wisdom Sun Wisdom Sun provides a warm and welcoming space where your body and mind can relax.

With the guidance of our experienced teachers, you can learn meditation techniques that help you relate with the experiences of daily life. Wisdom Sun is an international yet intimate Buddhist community based in Noe Valley, San Francisco. Its spiritual directors, Ari Goldfield and Rose Taylor Goldfield, are authorized Tibetan Buddhist teachers, and also bring their studies in psychology, Western philosophy, bodywork, and coaching to bear in their teaching methods. On a weekly basis, Wisdom Sun offers Mindfulness Meditation sessions on Monday evenings; and on Wednesday evenings more advanced Wisdom Journey teachings that emphasize the experiential possibilities of Buddhist meditation. Weekend and longer programs are offered locally and around the world, and a yearly community retreat is held in California each summer. All of Wisdom Sun’s activities take place in a Dharma “lab” of love, awareness, and body. We aim to open our hearts in order to enhance our love and compassion (in ourselves and in the greater community); develop our awareness through opening to our internal wisdom experience; and deepen our connections with our own bodies in meditation and yogic exercise.

Wisdom Sun is a non-profit organization, headquartered in San Francisco, incorporated in California and overseen by a board of directors.

Beautiful post from Rebecca who has worked in peacebuilding for over 2 decades now. ❤️

Sitting with Complexity: A Practice for Difficult Times In the heart of our spiritual practice lies a paradox: how do we cultivate a sense of peace and meaning in the face of incredible political and social turmoil? As Buddhists, we are trained to look deeply, to meditate not to escape the world,

Journey Into Sacred Body.
Please join us for this session hosted by White Heron Sangha.
One of the hallmarks of Vajrayana Buddhism is pure view. Rather than the modern materialist view of ourselves as a discrete individual wandering through a world of inert matter, we discover that we are a being of pure awareness. And, this being is interwoven with a world of vivid aliveness, which, also, is the nature of pure awareness. In this session, we will focus on our own sacred beinghood and take an awareness pilgrimage through our inner landscape.

Beautiful post from Jon.
