Program Topic

We all imagine a way of being that is more open, free, and connected than currently experience. Everything we do, knowingly or not, is motivated by the impulse to make this vision a reality. And yet somehow, we often find ourselves anxious and cut off from each other and the world around us. 

The Buddha himself was driven by the same imagination. Through his example, and the guidance of wisdom traditions throughout the ages, we can discover a way of experiencing our lives and the world around us as being open, fluid and fundamentally good. 

During this weekend, through teachings, discussions, and meditation, we’ll discover the path that leads to an experience of the world as being a "sacred world,” a world of people who are—just like us—fundamentally whole, complete and affectionately connected to each other.
