This Year, Summer Starts July 16

I’m back from sitting a month-long retreat (with stories to tell) and now I’m just about ready to begin teaching a 5-week Study & Practice class on How to Work with the Five Hindrances. (Details below.)

The first class meets on July 16. Want to attend? There’s still time! Email me here.

Our practice during these five sessions will focus on how to work with what Buddhist texts call the Five Hindrances — five common challenges to meditation:

• Desire (“If-only-I-could” Mind)
• Aversion (“If-only-I-could-get-rid-of” Mind)
• Restlessness and Worry (“I-can’t-settle-down” Mind)
• Sloth and Torpor (“I-can’t-stay-awake” Mind)
• Doubt (“I-can’t-do-it” Mind)
