Current Class Offering

Unconditional Love, Part 5
Sundays, April 27-May 18 ​2:00-3:30 pm

This class continues to build upon the practices and teachings offered in Parts 1, 2, 3 and 4. Part 5 presents methods for establishing a sustainable field of care, allowing for a deeper exploration of the awakening mind.
Prerequisites for this class are Unconditional Love Parts 1-4 or the equivalent experience.  If you would like to participate in this class and have not yet met these prerequisites, please contact John directly at johnmb1948@hotmail.com
Meditations in this class are drawn from the Dzogchen (Great Perfection) tradition of Tibetan Buddhism, yet they are informed by modern psychology and designed for Western audiences.  The instructions are quite clear and precise, and they easily can be adapted to anyone's spiritual tradition or worldview.

Classes will include teaching, discussion, guided meditations, and time for Q & A.
As a handbook and guide, we will be using Awakening Through Love:  Unveiling Your Deepest Goodness (2007) by Lama John Makransky. Students are strongly encouraged to obtain a copy.  While reading a text is very useful, it is no substitute for practice.  This class—and weekly meetings following the class— will offer the support needed to practice effectively.
