What’s Up with Waking Up

with Jon Aaron

Saturday, February 15th, 2020 from 10:00am - 5:00pm

If we aren’t practicing meditation to wake up, then why are we bothering? What does waking up really mean? What are we waking up from or to? There is a Buddha in each of us waiting to wake up to a life without fear even in a world with much to be fearful of. In this daylong, we will practice directly with some of the Buddha’s teachings on freedom and investigate how to integrate these into every moment of our lives.
