Our Inmost Request

with Karen DeCotis

Friday March 6, 7-8:30 PM

Saturday March 7
9:00 AM – 4:30 PM

Hybrid

To be fully who we are, we look to realize our inmost nature, our inmost request of ourselves. As we identify this, we must find how to maintain this, to have a continuous practice and have this deep request inform our effort in all of our arenas of practice – meditation, relationships, parenting, activism, art, service.

This weekend we will explore the quest of our inmost aspiration and how it relates to being upright in a wonderful and troubled world. It will include meditation, instruction, Dharma talks, writing and reflection and group conversation.

Breaking the First Fetter: Seeing Through the Self-Illusion

with Brittany & James Nepenthe

Saturday March 21
9:00 AM – 12:30 PM

via Zoom!

This half-day workshop offers practical tools for directly investigating the sense of self. Through guided inquiry and experiential exercises, participants will learn how to look closely at present-moment experience and examine whether a separate self can actually be found. The emphasis is on active investigation rather than philosophy, supporting clear seeing in everyday life.
