ENTERING THE PATH

TUESDAYS, JANUARY 23rd – FEBRUARY 27th, 2024 | 7:00pm - 9:00pm ET

This is the first course in our Yearlong Buddhist Studies program. It will focus on The Buddhist Path, The Four Noble Truths, The Eightfold Path, Buddhist Teachings on the Self, and the Path of Conduct and Ethics.

We will explore and transform our way of looking at meditation as more than just a stress-reducing practice, and into an entire life path of study, practice and ACTION where we explore our sense of self, our confusion, and begin to transform our entire understanding of reality.
