This week’s topic is “Fluidly, fully, freely”
This week will explore facets of our ever-changing experience, and how the river of life can remind us to meet everything more fluidly, and thus to live more freely.
Today’s chant:
GATÉ GATÉ, PARAGATÉ
PARASANGATÉ BODHI SWAHA
GONE GONE GONE BEYOND
AWAKE BEYOND THE GREAT BEYOND

This class is an opportunity to explore our meditation practice, on and off the cushions. Meditation can be everything we do.

This week’s topic is “Letting Go, Cultivating Deep Peace”. The Buddha’s teachings offer a profoundly pragmatic, compassionate and wise response to the human condition. During this week we will explore the art of pausing, looking deeply into our own lived experience and letting go of clinging, as foundations for developing a peaceful heart. This supports the possibilities for both our own well-being, as well as peace in the external world.
This week’s topic is “A Path of Wisdom and Compassion”. Practicing Insight Meditation supports an understanding of how wellbeing is nourished, and how ill-being is conditioned. Attending to our own heart and mind with compassion and wisdom opens possibilities of freedom. Over this week of practice, we’ll develop wisdom and compassion, exploring creative responses to habits that appear to obscure these beautiful qualities.
