The Heart of Warriorship

Levels I-V provide a strong foundation in mindfulness-awareness meditation practice, emphasizing the development of genuine confidence, humor, and personal dignity within the complexity of daily life. These weekend workshops are recommended for new and experienced meditators, as well as for those looking to enrich their existing spiritual tradition.

These five workshops include meditation training and practice, talks by senior instructors, personal interviews and group discussions.

Level I: The Art of Being Human

Discovering basic goodness in the world and ourselves.

Level II: Birth of the Warrior

Cultivating the willingness to observe our cocoon of habitual fear and defense mechanisms.

Level III: Warrior in the World

Developing the bravery to step outside our cocoons.

Level IV: Awakened Heart

Opening to increased awareness and inquisitiveness about the world, as it is.

Level V: Open Sky

Sharpening one’s awareness, one finds the open clear sky of mind—a delightful source of wisdom and uplifted energy. Trusting our nature enough to let go into the present moment.
