Wholehearted: Cultivating Freshness, Receptivity and Love

Short Course

With Sensei Koshin Paley Ellison

How can we experience more connection in our day-to-day lives?

Social isolation is one of the modern health pandemics. All ages and kinds of people have fear around intimacy. Many of us yearn to develop more meaningful relationships.

How can we feel our fears without becoming them? How can we find the love that is always available, moment to moment?

Meditation practice and attitude can support us to live our core values, and root them in our bodies, so that we can live more authentically and lovingly.

In this on-demand course with Sensei Koshin Paley Ellison – author, Jungian psychotherapist, Certified Chaplaincy Educator, and Guiding Teacher of NY Zen Center – we experience this firsthand.

Through both seated and walking Zen meditation, we practice waking up to live wholeheartedly.

Wholehearted: Cultivating Freshness, Receptivity and Love - Sensei Koshin Paley Ellison

  • Receive an introduction to basic zen meditation (Zazen)
  • Contemplate our care partnerships and relationships

What are Short Courses?

With the independent student in mind, previously recorded Dharma practice sessions have been curated and trimmed into short guided videos that are easy to understand and put into practice.

Short courses include longer periods of meditation interspersed with wise teachings, practice exercises, a recorded Q&A from the live class, and more.

When you sign up, you’ll get instant access so you can join the course on your own schedule, and at your ideal pace. With lifetime access, you can watch and re-watch the videos as you please.

What’s Included

Approximately 3 hours of pre-recorded video content. Every video – whether a lesson, meditation, exercise, or Q&A – includes a description, so you have total flexibility when planning your self-paced study.

Cost

Short Courses are offered on a sliding scale basis, with a suggested rate of $35. We wholeheartedly welcome all to practice with us; no one turned away for lack of funds.
