A “bottom-up” approach to challenges allows us to observe and engage with our emotions for deeper understanding and personal growth.
Wednesday Meditations and Talks on:
Personal Growth
Meditation + Talk: Cultivating Patience with Loving Strength
Patience brings peace and allows us to pause and respond mindfully rather than react unskillfully—learn to apply it to your own inner and outer experiences.
Meditation + Talk: Making Your Own Life
Feeling stuck? Or, know someone who is struggling, and resisting help or change? We can move forward and grow with wisdom and patience.
Meditation + Talk: Reflections on the Path of Practice
Guest teacher Henry Shukman shares how the practice of being quiet and still can bring us to something deeper in our nature.
Meditation + Talk: Gathering and Dispersing: The Two Great Movements of the Heart
Balancing gathering and dispersing is vital. Overemphasis on gathering can cause anxiety and stress, while dispersing fosters openness and reduces mental strain, leading to less suffering.

Confidence can be difficult to maintain in the face of challenges. Buddhism offers insight into the forces that shape our self-perception and well-being.
