Online Course: A Year of Dharmic Astrology
Catherine Pawasarat and Doug Duncan have designed a course on dharmic astrology to reflect the themes that unfold over the course of a year. This format has been chosen to mark the occasion of Doug Sensei's year of integration, from June 2014 until June 2015. Within the period of each sign of the zodiac over the coming year, new material will be released that explores the month's sign. The course videos are released each month and are all available to you whenever you decide to register for the course. There is also a place to share and ask questions of the teachers and other participants throughout the course.

Dana “Dāna” (pron. dahna) is a Sanskrit and Pali word meaning “generosity” or “giving.” Offering material support enriches both giver and receiver.

Meditation Retreat: Enlivening the Mystical Life
Are you longing for a greater sense of the mystical in your life? It awaits us, as part of the human birthright of awakening. This four-week retreat from December 19 addresses four stages of the mystical life, and may be attended in its entirety or for particular stages: 1) Building an Unassailable Spiritual Aspiration (Dec 20 – 26) Like any stable creation, our spiritual life needs to be built on a strong and sound foundation. During this stage we lay or strengthen the groundwork for the fundamentals of the spiritual life. Highlights include teachings and meditations on impermanence and the preciousness of this human birth, as well as cornerstones of spiritual aspiration such as generosity and others means of generating merit. 2) Abiding with the Divine (Dec 27 – Jan 2) Compassion and loving kindness are two of the indescribably precious “divine abidings,” where fully awakened beings spend all their time! We go in depth to craft our practice of building, maintaining and growing these prized assets, so that we spend more and more of our time there. This stage also reveals how we can continue to fertilize their growth while we go about our daily lives, a crucial component to the virtual monastery. 3) Catalyzing Growth Through Universal Archetypes (Jan 3- Jan 9) We all live by creating and sustaining images and appearances – we have to appear somehow! This stage examines a variety of historical archetypes of how we humans have modeled ourselves around the world and over […]
