SUMMARY:Online: Home Body – Being with What Is
DESCRIPTION:Online: Home Body – Being with What Is\n \nwith Jill Satterfield\n \nTuesdays\, February 4th – 25th\, 2025 | 7:00pm-9:00pm ET\n \n\n \nJust like everything in our minds\, the body—the material form of consciousness—is impermanent and of the nature to arise\, cease\, shift and change and always re-arrange. \nGenerally\, we’re familiar with the “gross” form of the body—our skin\, bones\, and tissues. But we may be less familiar with the “subtle body\,” which is unseen\, but felt\, and influences our mind states.   \nIn this four-week course with Buddhist teacher Jill Satterfield\, we’ll learn about how the subtle body is actively communicating with (and altered by) the breath. We’ll also explore how the subtle body affects our thoughts and feelings\, imagination\, and conditioned beliefs. \nWe’ll begin each session by noticing our internal landscape: sensations\, breath\, thoughts and emotions. Following that\, we’ll practice ways to balance the central nervous system. Every session there will be a breath practice from the Buddhist yogic traditions with the intention to create more spacious\, open awareness. \nTogether we’ll develop a greater awareness of how breathing into an area of body affects the\ninner and outer landscape of the body.  \nFinally\, we’ll work on making the subtle our home and a place of refuge. By attending to the breath with kind awareness\, we can create the space inside to be with what is. \nRegistration:\nPlease register below. If you are able\, registering at the “Supporter” level enables others to attend at the “Subsidized” level. Thank you for your generosity! (Please note that the registration price includes a base level of teacher support\, and you will have the opportunity to donate more after the program.) \nIf you are registering via a mobile device such as a phone or tablet\, you can scroll right and left and up and down within the below form if it is partially obscured or cut off.\nCLICK HERE to open the registration form in a new browser window. \n \nVolunteering \nAll of our programs rely on volunteers to support our teachers and staff with various tasks and responsibilities. Volunteering allows you to participate in our programs at no cost. To inquire about volunteering opportunities\, please fill out our inquiry form\, and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

SUMMARY:Online: Rebuild Your Attention - Buddhist Practices for Focus\, Clarity\, and Joy
DESCRIPTION:Online: Rebuild Your Attention – Buddhist Practices for Focus\, Clarity\, and Joy\n \nwith Sean Oakes\, PhD\n \nThursdays\, February 27 – March 27\, 2025 | 6:30pm – 8:00pm ET\n \n\n \nAt the heart of Buddhist tradition is the ancient practice of meditation\, through which we train our faculties of attention and investigation with the aim of decreasing stress and suffering. \nMeditation has never been easy—people in the Buddha’s time struggled with distraction\, sleepiness\, and worry the same way we do—but our sped-up\, information-saturated culture makes it harder than ever. We all know it would be good to slow down and become more present\, but how do we really do this?  \nThis 5-week course is the second in a series of practice and study courses aimed to build a strong foundation for Theravāda Buddhist training. Focusing in this series on meditation as attention training\, we will look at developing focus\, concentration\, and strong inner energy\, and why these are the core skills in meditation and mindfulness. You do not have to have taken the first course in the series to take this one\, and beginners are welcome.  \nWe will read original texts from early Buddhist teachings preserved in the Pāli Canon\, as the source of our meditation instructions\, and weave in supporting material from contemporary neuroscience and psychology. Each week we will meditate together\, read passages from the discourses\, and support each other in building or deepening a daily meditation practice. You will come away with an approach to Buddhist meditation that understands the central role that pleasure and relaxation hold in concentration\, and actionable skills for slowing down and bringing focus back into your everyday life. \nRegistration:\nPlease register below.
