This course is a space to share the things that are coming up for us as we age—both what we appreciate and what we don’t—and cultivate the inner resources that can help with dealing with the challenges of confronting our impermanence. We will look at our relationship to change and how change can include the cultivation of the heart and mind.

In this 5-week course designed for those looking to deepen their practice— the first in a series of deepening practice and study courses—we will build the foundations of a sustainable and dynamic Buddhist training. We’ll learn the basic skills of relationship and community-tending, establish a solid meditation practice, and engage with the early-Buddhist Pāli Canon as both a teaching source and a literature of extraordinary beauty and depth.

If you are in your 40s/50s and thinking about the second half of your life, join us for a new five-month course exploring our underlying emotions around midlife issues. What are our fears, doubts, agitation, hopes, and dreams? How do we make peace with the life we have led so far? How do we live a fulfilling life with the time we have left? How do we let go of our former selves and keep evolving?

Once a month for all of 2025, we will meet to discuss how Buddhist teachings can help us greet death with an open, loving mind.
