Online: Aging as a Spiritual Practice
 
with Amy Selzer and Nancy Glimm
 
Sundays, October 30th – November 20th, 2022 | 10:00am – 1:00pm ET
 

 
This four-week course will be about upending our fixed ideas about aging.

Together we will share our cultural beliefs toward aging and challenge them with the tools of meditation and the Buddha’s teachings.

Each week we will investigate a different awareness around aging as we learn heart opening practices that create new possibilities and shift old habits and patterns.

The course will include dharma talks, meditation, break-out rooms, readings and weekly practice sheets. This course is open to all levels of practice including those who have taken the course before.
