SUMMARY:Doorways to Insight — Insight Knowledge
DESCRIPTION:Discovering liberation through the ordinary. \nWith Shaila Catherine \nThis event is part of the Doorways to Insight Series.\nToday’s Topic: Insight Knowledge \nYou know everything changes\, so why do you suffer when possessions are lost\, relationships end\, or friends die? \nEach day\, we experience changing sensory impressions; we cannot control what happens\, and we have never succeeded in attaining lasting happiness from transient phenomena. Insight meditation is oriented toward seeing three characteristics—the impermanence\, unsatisfactoriness\, and emptiness of experience. \nIn some ways\, these are ordinary and obvious insights. Yet\, these simple truths have the profound power to uproot our deepest misperceptions. When we see them clearly\, we do not cling; when not clinging\, the mind\, body and heart are liberated. This series will explore the nature of wisdom\, perception and liberating insights with an emphasis on what are called the three characteristics\, or three doorways to Nibbana. \nNovember 18 — Insight into Impermanence with Maria Straatmann\nNovember 25 — Insight into Unsatisfactoriness with Shaila Catherine\nDecember 2 — Insight into Emptiness with Shaila Catherine\nDecember 9 — Insight Knowledge with Shaila Catherine\nDecember 16 — Experience of Insight with Shaila Catherine \nReserve your spot! \nChoose a ticket below to reserve your seat.

SUMMARY:Integrating the Heart Practices
DESCRIPTION:A series that will open the heart and bring balance in relationships. \nWith Shaila Catherine \nThis series will nurture the development of four profound qualities of heart: loving-kindness\, compassion\, joy\, and equanimity. These four qualities express a powerful and immeasurable intention of kindness toward ourselves and all beings. They are traditionally called the Divine Abodes (Brahma Viharas). When these qualities are well developed the heart-mind will be liberated from ill will\, cruelty\, envy\, expectation and demand—one will dwell with a pure “divine” perception of all things. \nSeptember 30 — Cultivating Loving Kindness\nOctober 7 — Cultivating Compassion\nOctober 14 — Cultivating Joy\nOctober 21 — Cultivating Equanimity\nOctober 28 — Integrating Heart Practices into Life \n\nReserve your spot!\nChoose a ticket below to reserve your seat.

SUMMARY:Awaken the Boundless Heart: Loving Kindness
DESCRIPTION:A series that will open the heart and bring balance in relationships. \nWith Shaila Catherine \nThis series will nurture the development of four profound qualities of heart: loving-kindness\, compassion\, joy\, and equanimity. These four qualities express a powerful and immeasurable intention of kindness toward ourselves and all beings. They are traditionally called the Divine Abodes (Brahma Viharas). When these qualities are well developed the heart-mind will be liberated from ill will\, cruelty\, envy\, expectation and demand—one will dwell with a pure “divine” perception of all things. \nSeptember 30 — Cultivating Loving Kindness\nOctober 7 — Cultivating Compassion\nOctober 14 — Cultivating Joy\nOctober 21 — Cultivating Equanimity\nOctober 28 — Integrating Heart Practices into Life \n\nReserve your spot!\nChoose a ticket below to reserve your seat.
