Monday Evenings, 6 weeks
6:30 p.m. to 8:15 p.m. EDT
January 8th - February 12th, 2024
Online via Zoom
Course Description:
No one wants to feel like they're being told what to do — we like to think we know what's best for ourselves and others. The trouble is, our life doesn't always bear that out.
A key Buddhist insight is that consciousness isn't fixed; we're creating it all the time with our actions of body, speech, and mind. This means we can shape our future.
In this six-week course, we'll explore how to act in ways that flourish our lives and contribute to the lives of those around us.
Participants will read Subhadramati’s book Not About Being Good as part of the course. The book can be purchased (print or e-book) here.
Agenda:
Each week we will begin with a brief meditation, followed by a check-in. The week’s leader will discuss the material. A second small group discussion will take place, followed by reconvening with the entire class. If time permits, class will end with a short closing meditation.
