Join us online for an in-depth trauma-informed Satipatthana Sutta Study

Facilitated by Amma Thanasanti

   September 2: Body

   October 7:  Vedana and Emotions

   November 4: Hindrances, and Factors of Awakening

   December 2: Four Noble Truths

This class series will use the Satipatthana Sutta as a guide to learn the Buddha’s teachings on the Four Foundations of Mindfulness and apply trauma-informed principles to these instructions.

This Sutta is highly regarded in all of the Buddha’s discourses because it contains a complete set of teachings designed for freedom.  As extensive and liberating as the Four Foundations’ teachings are, when trauma is present, it can interfere with putting the teachings into practice.

Each class will have two 90-minute sections with a break in between them. Each section will contain, guided meditation, Dharma talk, and discussion.

Amma Thanasanti brings decades of experience studying and practicing a trauma-informed approach to The Four Foundations of Mindfulness.

This class is open to all meditators, regardless of their experience with trauma. We will provide a safe and supportive space to explore these topics.

Cost to register is on a sliding scale.

In the Gelug tradition of Tibetan Buddhism, Mahamudra (Great Seal) meditation is the practice of realising the great seal of reality, the empty and selfless nature of all things. With its unique starting point of meditating on the clear and knowing nature of the mind, we learn to settle back and meditate as spacious awareness. Within this extraordinary experience of clarity, spaciousness, bliss and absence of discursive thinking, we turn our introspective awareness to examine the nature of the subject, our habitual sense of self, in order to free ourselves from all our grasping, attachment and heartache.

Through Mahamudra meditation, we can connect with our own aware space and experience the bliss that comes from this effortless way of engaging in meditation.

The workshop will feature explanations, guided meditations and time for Q&A. All are welcome.
