The program dates are April 10 – June 19. Late registration will remain open until 5pm ET on April 19.
Meditation practice cultivates inner peace, clarity, concentration, and joy. In order to experience these lovely qualities, we must overcome the challenges of agitation, dullness, obsessive thinking, physical pain, difficult emotions, and reactivity. In this program we will identify, investigate, and learn to skillfully overcome obstacles to concentration and insight.
Through inquiry into how the mind functions we will recognize the presence, absence, and causal conditions for hindrances, and transform habitual patterns that might obstruct wholesome states. Once the obstacles have been understood and overcome, the path to deep and stable states of concentration will be clear, and mindfulness of the processes of mind and body will be firmly established.
