Is it time for you to take your meditation to a new level? Are you longing for greater ease in practice and your life? Have you taken other classes and now find yourself ready to make a greater commitment?

If so,  this class will provide the structure and instruction to make it possible. 

We will be reading the book The Wise Heart by Jack Kornfield. This clear presentation of Buddhist Psychology will provide a framework for deeper meditative practice and increased integration of meditation into daily life. .

While not required, it is suggested that you consider increasing your formal daily practice to thirty minutes or an hour.  In the past this has led to people discovering pleasure and insight in their practice that they had not found before.
 
 Each class will include  meditation, reflection upon the book chapters indicated for that week, instruction, and time for questions. There is no test at the end of the class. Your increased contentment, emotional resilience and happiness are the outcomes
