Description
In this class series, we will explore the discerning mind — a state that emerges when our practice of non-judging, non-comparing, and non-fixing has stabilized the mind. Utilizing the "as best I am able" practice, we'll learn how to cultivate conditions that allow this spacious, responsive, peaceful state to arise naturally. The discerning mind is distinctively characterized by its freedom from egoic contraction, allowing us to see clearly what is skillful, wholesome, and beneficial. We will learn how to establish ourselves in this state when it arises and how to draw upon the resulting wisdom and compassion in the midst of life's complexities.
The timing of this class series is intentional to be in the heart of our fall exploration of the discerning mind. This class warmly welcomes both newcomers who are exploring these teachings for the first time and returning community members who are engaging in this exploration throughout the fall.
