How do the core Buddhist teachings impact the way you live and how does your life create its own dharma. Are you trying to control life or are you allowing life to live itself fully through you? How do you get in your own way? When does love and trust vanquish fear? Within the Buddha’s own teaching the word Dharma has a number of meanings—the truth, the teachings, the way, the nature of life, qualities of the mind, etc.

We will integrate all these meanings into this exploration of practice. Each week we will explore a very specific teaching and see how it reflects our lives, and how our lives reflect the teaching. What keeps us from living the Dharma fully?

Each class will include a period of formal practice, a short dharma talk, time for discussion and further practice as well as one-to-one teacher meetings.

The class is geared for advanced practitioners as well as for those who have already taken a beginning meditation class or MBSR.
