Dear friends,
I hope this note finds you well. I’m writing to let you know about two upcoming opportunities to practice together online this summer.
Wise Speech: An Introduction to Nonviolent Communication
This six-week, live, online course, sponsored by the Barre Center for Buddhist Studies, explores the basics of Nonviolent Communication from the perspective of Buddhist practice. How do we understand the teachings on “Right Speech” in our modern, divisive, polarized atmosphere and integrate wisdom and compassion into our conversations?
Offered on a donation basis, it’s an ideal program to start your communication journey, share with family or friends, or deepen your spiritual practice through skillful communication. Class meets Tuesdays at 12:15pm ET, June 19 – July 30. All of the sessions are recorded and available for viewing afterwards. Learn more here.
There are also some spots left in the summer online Insight Meditation Retreat that I co-teach with Matthew Brensilver. The retreat guides you to deepen your meditation with the support of community, in the comfort of your own home. Details are here.
I’ve been doing less teaching these days to focus on my own practice, getting out the vote, and my family life—all of which I hope to share more about over the summer.
Warm wishes,
Oren
