Integral Evolution: Waking Up & Growing Up

Four Weeks | Online 

Along with the work of waking up—cultivating an enlightened state—we also need to do the work of growing up. This means learning to integrate the clear state into the world through doing our shadow work, developing our communication, and doing all the critical development work to be a fully integrated human being. In this course we explore the elements of a fit and dynamic vehicle for 21st-century awakening, and beyond.

Vipassana

Study sensation, the breath, body, and mind. Join Catherine Pawasarat Sensei in an eight-day Vipassana meditation retreat, a practice suitable whether you are a newbie or seasoned meditator, or have always wanted to do a longer retreat. Gift yourself the in-person guidance of an accomplished meditation teacher and a balanced meditative approach using the foundations of mindfulness from the Satipaṭṭhāna Sutta. In-person, with an online option.

Emotional Intelligence

Emotional intelligence isn’t just a nice skill to include on a resume: In Buddhist philosophy, conflicting emotions like anger and greed are considered poisons that prevent our minds and hearts from functioning properly. It’s also essential for the future of the planet! Our emotions, how aware we are of our impact on others, and how skillful we are at playing the music of that impact, are what really makes the world go round.

Year-end Sangha / Foundations Retreat

We like reminding each other that the Buddha told his beloved discipline Ananda that our spiritual friends on the path, or “kalyana mitta,” are not just a portion of the path—but the whole path. We enjoy this community time with our sangha each year, and invite those who are already students to join Sensei and other members of our community for a retreat to focus on foundational meditation practice together. If we don’t know you yet—we’d love to have you at another offering first, and to have you join us one day for our sangha retreat.
