Online: Taking Refuge in Rituals
with Wildecy de Fátima Jury
Friday, December 15th, 2023 | 6:30 – 9:00pm ET &
Saturday, December 16th, 2023 | 1:00 – 5:30pm ET
December is a month filled with diverse spiritual celebrations, and there are many ceremonial rituals practiced in Buddhism as well which can help establish strong discipline, and deepen concentration and wisdom. And they create connections and bring individual and collective healing.
In this contemplative course, we will, inside of a safe and supportive container, explore some of the sacred rituals of Buddhism, with the intention of noticing those to which we feel connected and would like to cultivate. We will meditate, chant, write, make art, dialogue, and move together in a ritual mode.
This online course is open to everyone who practices or is curious about the power of the dharma and rituals. Beginners are welcome to attend.
Before registering, please ask yourself if you are committed to attending the entire course with your camera on the entire time, except during meditation and breaks.
