Beloved Buddhist teacher, author, nun and mother, Pema Chödrön has inspired millions of people from around the world who have been touched by her example and message of practicing peace in these turbulent times.

Join us as we explore the teachings and practices that she presents in 4 recorded talks, paired with her book Practicing Peace in Times of War. In these recorded talks, Pema draws on Buddhist teachings to explore the origins of aggression, hatred and war, explaining that they lie nowhere but within our own hearts and minds. She teaches that remarkably, exploring the way we as individuals respond to turmoil in our everyday lives can either perpetuate a culture of violence or create a new culture of compassion.

To help us sow the seeds of a new culture, these audio teachings paired with meditation practice and group discussions will help us open our hearts and nourish these seeds of peace in our lives.

The class structure will involve listening to teachings from Pema Chödrön (audio recordings), meditation practice with meditation instruction, contemplation and discussion. The first 10 registrants who sign up for the entire series will receive a free copy of the book.

5 Mondays: July 8th - August 5th 6:00 - 8:00 pm
