Living Dharma: Buddhist Tools for Cultivating Resilience Five-Week Online Class Series – Begins October 20th

“No mud, no lotus.” - Thich Nhat Hanh

In this five-week series, we will study traditional Buddhist teachings from the Insight Meditation tradition and explore how to bring these practices into daily life for greater ease, clarity, and well-being. Together, we’ll discover how these timeless teachings provide a reliable refuge and support our resilience in today’s uncertain and challenging times.

We’ll explore:

• The truth of interdependence and how our connections sustain us

• The role of community (sangha) in collective awakening

• Gratitude and Equanimity as daily anchors in the midst of change and difficulty

• Ways to strengthen mindfulness and compassion as foundations for resilience

• Insights from modern research to support inner strength and well-being

Each week will include guided meditation, Dharma talks, small group reflections, and community discussion to deepen learning together.

This class is designed for practitioners with some previous meditation experience, such as an introductory mindfulness or Buddhist class, or participation in a meditation retreat. Participants will be encouraged to meditate at least 30 minutes daily to strengthen their understanding and deepen their practice.
