Upcoming Class Schedule & Topics
March 2024 – Creating the Life We Want
We all experience ups and downs, highs and lows in our lives. Part of what makes our lives feel so stressful is that things just seem to happen to us, randomly, beyond our control. We often ask ourselves: why did this happen to me and what can I do now? This month, we will answer those questions by contemplating Buddha’s teachings on the law of karma, a special instance of the law of cause and effect. Week by week we’ll gain an understanding of why things happen to us and learn how to create the causes for a fulfilling and happy life.
Mar 7 – Our actions matter. Introduction to karma

April 2024 – Turning Lemons to Lemonade: Learning to Transform Difficult Situations

In this series of classes we will contemplate inspiring solutions for difficult times.
