Saturday, December 2nd, 2023 from 10:00am - 5:00pm ET
Holding the uncertainties in our individual lives can be challenging enough, but when we add the uncertainties of society -- war and violence, the climate crisis, political divisions, and many more -- it can be overwhelming. This day of practice will integrate meditation, movement and group discussion to explore the nature of uncertainty and discover how uncertainty itself can become a refuge.
Monday, December 4th, 2023 from 7:00pm - 8:15pm ET
In a conversation with Rabbi Dr. Jay Michaelson, Sharon Salzberg will reflect on the essential dharma teachings in her new book, Finding Your Way, and on how they distill and reflect her many decades as a beloved meditation teacher.

Tuesday, December 5th, 2023 from 6:30pm - 8:00pm ET
In this online evening talk, and through periods of meditation, experiential learning, and discussion, we will explore how to meet life’s challenges with more awareness, compassion, and ease.
Revised Dates: Tuesdays, December 5th - 19th, 2023 from 7:00pm - 8:30pm ET
Through talks, reflection, and meditation, we’ll explore how to recognize the skillful even when we find that hard. During this course, we’ll see how we can overcome the cynical approach of always finding the flaws in others. We’ll look at how we can support and encourage the arising of skillful qualities in ourselves and others. And we’ll see how admiration leads to emulation. Perhaps most importantly, we’ll experience the benefits of appreciating skillful qualities in ourselves and others, and how it is the single most important way for us to bring joy and peace into our own lives and into the world.
