This series is a joint offering of Insight Meditation Community of Berkeley (ICMB) and Assaya Sangha. All genders welcome. 

James Baraz and Kate Munding will be offering a 4-week class series beginning Wednesday, April 22nd. Many people appreciate mindfulness and even practice it, but haven't been exposed to the rich Buddhist perspective of life that supports one's development both on and off the cushion. This series is for people who would like to establish a mindfulness practice rooted in classical Buddhist teachings. 


Each class will explore an aspect of basic Buddhist philosophy and will include instructions, meditation, a talk and Q&A. We will share topics such as "The Four Noble Truths", "The Five Hindrances" and The Four Heart Practices"  and how they can be applied to everyday life.

Wednesdays, April 22 to May 13

6:30 pm - 8:30 pm Pacific Time

Not a drop-in class -  Pre-registration is required.

This course is offered on a donation (dana) basis.
