Registration Open: Spring Class Series

Join us as we read and inquire into Neurodharma: New Science, Ancient Wisdom, and Seven Practices of the Highest Happiness by Rick Hanson.

As I have heard, people who are flying at high altitude are instructed to put on their own oxygen mask first if the cabin pressure suddenly drops, assuring that they can breathe well enough to help someone else. In that same way, in this class series we will read and inquire into the book Neurodharma: New Science, Ancient Wisdom, and Seven Practices of the Highest Happiness by Rick Hanson. We will cultivate stability, presence of mind and courage to meet the challenges of our world.

From a book review: “…The Buddha didn’t use an MRI to become enlightened. Still, 2,500 years after he walked the dusty roads of northern India, neuroscientists are discovering the mechanisms of the brain that underpin the Buddha’s penetrating analysis of the mind. With deep research, stories, guided meditations, examples, and applications, Dr. Hanson offers a fascinating, inspiring vision of who we can be—and an effective path for fulfilling this wonderful possibility.”

Participants in the class will need access to a copy of the book. If you would like to support our local bookstore Northtown Books, you can order directly from their website here. While the shop itself was tragically destroyed in a fire on January 2, you are still able to order from Northtown’s website and have books delivered to your address. You can also find used copies at online retailers like Alibris, Thriftbooks, and others. If you have questions about locating a copy of the book or other questions related to the class, please contact us here.

Class dates are Sundays March 8, March 29 and April 5, 1:00-3:00 pm

Please register by February 22. You can register by completing the form here.
