Our Remaining Signature Classes

PATH OF ZEN (Hybrid)
February 17–March 9, 2024

Weekly classes on Saturdays from 10:00 to 11:30 AM (CST) for four weeks

In today’s chaotic world, Zen offers a beacon of clarity and direction. Through these teachings, you can tap into a timeless source of purpose, and develop the resilience to weather any storm. Discover a greater authenticity, compassion, and courage through these transformative, wisdom teachings.

  • This class will introduce you to an elegant teaching of Buddha describing the arc of the overall spiritual path called the “Four Foundations of Mindfulness”.

  • This class goes to the heart of our Zen teachings addressing the root cause of suffering, the self that we construct.

  • In this class you’ll learn about a more dynamic approach to mindfulness meditation called “Open Awareness”.

  • It’s time to find out what we mean by “Zen-inspired living”. Trusting your own deepest aspirations will set you clearly on the spiritual path that will take you forward, meeting whatever challenges life throws your way.

“Six Paramitas is a wonderful experience. It’s a great next step after the Foundations of Mindfulness and Path of Zen classes as it allows you to go deeper into the history of Buddhism and its core teachings.”

SIX PARAMITAS: Courage and Grace Under Fire (Hybrid)
June 8, 2024

Weekly classes on Saturdays from 10:00 – 11:30 AM (CST)

Deepen and clarify the spiritual path of Zen and help orient your life around greater meaning and purpose. Learn about the Six Paramitas which are the path of practice of living by the vow of a Bodhisattva (Spiritual Warrior). This series will take a deep dive into the genuine spiritual path of Zen. It will explain what a Bodhisattva is and why orienting your life around this profound, universal, and benevolent intention can lead to deeper meaning, purpose, and joy in your life. This is the third series in our signature classes. To get the most out of it, we recommend you take the first two series.

  • Learn how opening to your own awakened heart, what we call “bodhicitta” is the basis for the Zen spiritual path and the teachings of the Six Paramitas, the practices of a Bodhisattva.

  • Here you’ll learn about the first two paramitas that will help you trust your natural generosity and support your discipline in strengthening and deepening your meditation practice.

  • You’ll learn about the third and fourth Paramitas here. These practices will help you work more skillfully with anger and the places where you get stuck.

  • Learn about the last two Paramitas and how they can guide you in establishing a strong foundation for meditation and living a Zen-inspired life.
