Online: Home Body – Being with What Is

with Jill Satterfield

Tuesdays, February 4th - 25th, 2025 from 7:00pm-9:00pm ET

Just like everything, the body—the material form of consciousness—is impermanent and of the nature to arise, shift, and always re-arrange. In 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 body affects our thoughts and feelings, imagination, and conditioned beliefs.
