Online: Gladdening the Mind as We Grow in Our Confidence
with Amy Selzer & Nancy Glimm
Sundays, October 24th – November 14th, 2021 | 10:00am – 1:00pm ET
Everyone has goodness within. We feel empowered when we are able to tap into this goodness and free our minds rather than being caught in habitual thoughts and patterns.
In this online course with meditation teachers Amy Selzer and Nancy Glimm, we will explore how to see the mind’s activity and understand how we feed counterproductive mental habits or not. We will also deepen our ability to find ease in our daily lives and learn how to increase awareness when faced with difficulties.
We will use our breath, imagination, and the dharma to harness our negative thinking and cultivate wisdom and true happiness. Together we will discover how to recognize and nurture our innate goodness within.
These classes are open to both beginning and experienced practitioners.
