January 02: A Year of Retreat

Bill and Susan share some of the fruits of this past year.

January 04: Ordinary Moment of Awakening

Noticing and savoring waking up to our experience in ordinary moments.

January 09: An Overview of the Paramis

The paramis are wholesome qualities of character that are to be developed on and especially, off the cushion. We are not practicing these to reinforce our ego or assure ourselves that we are good people, but rather to train our hearts to not be fickle with goodwill.

January 11: Transforming Transactions into Connections

Making small overtures which convey to others that they are being seen.

January 18: The Generosity of Receiving

Learning to receive well is a gift to us, and to the giver.

January 21: The Ankura Sutta

Cultivating generosity and recognizing stinginess. Learning to hold both generosity and stinginess with compassion and equanimity

January 25: Practicing being generous with the thoughts, feelings and stories we hold about ourselves and others.

Noticing when our thoughts and stories of another person narrow and close off to their humanity. It is an act of generosity to find ways to widen our understanding of them and turn with kindness toward what makes this difficult in our own hearts and minds
