Meditations for Transforming Conflict and Difficulty
with Kereen Richards and others
Our own mind of anger creates so many problems
and our inability to let go of this painful mind keeps us stuck
in conflicted situations. In this series we learn how to
identify and reduce anger and aversion, even in their subtle and
repressed forms.
July 6 anger and unskillful
action
July 13 cutting the root of anger
July 20 the wisdom of acceptance
July 27 being patient with yourself
Classes can be taken individually or as a series.
Each class is structured to include two meditations,
a teaching, and a questions and answers session.

The classes begin with a guided simple breathing and relaxing meditation. Then, a talk is given by the teacher on the subject for the week, always very practical methods for overcoming minds like impatience, our stress, or anxieties. After this, the teacher leads another meditation, to help familiarize our mind with the subject topic. These classes are self contained, so you can attend any class you chose. However, you may receive more benefit from attending the whole course and so gain a fuller understanding of the subject.
You do not need to wear special clothes to meditate, and during the classes we sit on chairs or cushions.
