Half-Day New Year Meditation Retreat
Half-Day New Year Meditation Retreat
Sunday, January 11th | 9:00-12:30pm EST
As we close our Introduction to Buddhist Meditation course, this half-day retreat offers a chance to deepen and integrate what we’ve explored together—shamatha (calm abiding), vipashyana (insight), metta (loving-kindness), and tonglen (sending and receiving). We’ll spend the morning in guided and silent practice, weaving these methods together, and reflect on intentions for the upcoming year grounded in confidence in one’s Buddha nature.
This retreat is offered by donation and open to all.

Buddhism & Marxism: A Four-Week Course
Buddhism & Marxism: A Four-Week Course
Online Hosted by Union Theological Seminary with Mike Slott, Ph.D.
Tuesdays, February 3-24th | 6:00-8:30pm EST
In this course, we’ll explore the convergence of two transformative worldviews: Buddhism and Marxism. While both perspectives provide conceptual and practical resources to alleviate suffering and promote human flourishing, they offer distinct paths to these shared goals. Over the span of four weeks, we’ll delve into the philosophical foundations of both Buddhist and Marxist perspectives on suffering, justice, and human well-being. We’ll also explore practical strategies for integrating Buddhist mindfulness practices into political activism. By engaging with both traditions, we’ll examine their relevance in addressing contemporary social and political challenges, gaining valuable insights into how they can inform and strengthen our efforts toward a more just and compassionate world.
