Description

In this class series, we will explore "As Best I Am Able," a profound practice that shifts us from reactive tendencies of mind into a more kind and responsive relationship with our inner and outer experience. 

The four modules of this program are:

  1. The Profound Practice of “As Best I Am Able”
  2. Discovering the Benefits of “As Best I Am Able”
  3. Cultivating Authenticity and Integrity with “As Best I Am Able”
  4. Making our Life our Practice with “As Best I Am Able”

You can learn more here about "As Best I Am Able" and how it relates to “The Three Renunciations.”

The timing of this class series is intentional to be in the start 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.
