Current Project clients who are working with volunteers may attend for free. Email info@livingdying.org to register.
We are so pleased to have guest teacher Ralph Steele give a talk on how we relate to existence with our mind and body. What are we doing in here after all? Our consciousness is constantly receiving information that ranges from healthy to disturbing, from sensuous to provoking, from joy to grief, from compassionate to traumatic. Eventually we face end-of-life in the body. What are we doing to manage ourselves from breath to breath?
As we go through our daily activities, it takes the Right View of the Dharma for us to make adjustments instead of unintentionally causing suffering for ourselves or for others.
This event will include Meditation, Dharma Talk, and Q&A.
A private zoom link will be emailed following registration. Registration closes Saturday, Oct 1 @ 9am PT.
This event will be recorded and a link will be sent to all registrants to view up until 30 days after.
