Craving, Addiction, and Contentment
March 31 - April 21 · Tuesdays · 6-7:15pm
The search for stimulation and excitement can be frustrating and tiring. It leaves us feeling like we never have enough — searching for ever more complicated, expensive, and even dangerous solutions to dispel our discontent. We can develop cravings and addictions that disrupt our life, relationships and well-being.
The answer to this problem isn’t to stop having fun or reject what we enjoy. Instead, we can learn how to be deeply satisfied with who we are, what we have, and where we are in life. The art of contentment involves letting go of unrealistic expectations, practicing kindness towards ourselves, and learning to find happiness within.

April 14: Undoing Stuck Habits of Addiction
April 21: Creating a Contented Life

How to Make Wise, Clear Decisions
May 5 - June 2 · Tuesdays · 6-7:15pm
It’s time to stop fretting, overthinking, and feeling stuck. Through Buddhist meditation, we can learn to cut through confusion and make clear, wise decisions based on a deeper understanding of our own intentions and capacity.
Week-by-week, we’ll explore different meditations that help us cut through the inner fog and identify what we need to work on to move forward in life. These meditations will bring greater peace, reduce our anxiety and worry and create gradual positive change. Everyone is welcome!
