February 1

 with Carol Blotter

This is an open to the public introductory talk to a weekend retreat on Dependent Origination. No pre-registration necessary.  This talk is offered for a suggested, optional donation of $10-$15.

What makes me tick?  Why do I keep getting caught up in behaviors that create so much suffering?  Who am I really?  If there is no self, who is suffering?

If you have wondered about these or other questions around how to break the patterns that cause suffering, then consider joining us for the upcoming retreat on Dependent Origination (also known as the Law of Conditionality).  More information and registration for the retreat can be found here.
