Mindfulness is a quality of mind most directly cultivated through meditation and through learning to turn toward our moment to moment experience with open-hearted curiosity. As mindfulness is established, Insight into the true nature of life is clearly seen and the compassionate heart can naturally arise. Compassion itself can be a doorway to Insight as Mindfulness brings curiosity to obstructions in the heart. The class is appropriate for those relatively new to practice as well as more seasoned practitioners. The meditations will be based on the Anapanasati Sutta (Mindfulness of Breathing) and we will use a number of texts to enhance our exploration.

RETREATS co-taught with Johann Robbins August 30-September 4 5-Night Silent Retreat Rocky Mountain Eco-Dharma Retreat Center Ward, Colorado "Body as Mountain, Mind as Sky"... These frequently quoted phrases by the 13th Century Zen master Dogen evoke a feeling of embodied freedom and will form the basis for this retreat. So often we live as though we are separate from nature when in fact, we are nature. Most of this retreat will be outside- sitting, walking and just being in the surrounding beauty. The exquisite natural beauty of the RMEDC will provide all the support needed live into Dogen’s words.
