The Buddha is quoted in the sutras as saying, "Be a light unto yourself." Within each individual is the power to rise out of delusion and suffering and live from a place of wisdom, peace, and love. This course will talk about how to access this power, light your own way, and thereby be a light for others as well. Each class will include 30 minutes of guided meditation followed by time for teaching and dialogue. Two board members will be present to monitor and relay questions from online participants in the chat.

The quiet time after the holiday bustle and the beginning of the New Year is an excellent time to take time out to be in silence, rest in our being, connect with our depths, and be in the company of others doing the same. Out of this simple moment-to-moment presence with things as they are, we more easily move toward the light of truth, kindness, and skillful action, however those need to appear at this time in our lives.
