This week’s topic is Skills for Inner and Outer Transformation.

 

Dharma practice gives us great tools for inner and interpersonal change. It’s empowering to explore how these can also be useful for social and environmental transformation. We will tour such qualities, including equanimity (upekkha), non-self (anatta), and sukha (yes, pleasure!). Together, we will draw on both traditional and more contemporary voices to show how your skills as a practitioner could be vital to the work of changing the world.

It’s what we bring to it. What shifts when we focus on creating a life of certainty? A life of certainty that whether you are…

  • The Individual-Relational Dharma Paradox and Why it Matters to Your Life

    Biologically, psychologically, and in common sense there is no doubt that the human experience is both intrinsically individual and intrinsically relational. Our bodies are separate.
