The Noble Eightfold Path offers a beautiful framework for nurturing mindfulness and developing awareness and wisdom in all areas of our life. Each week in this eight-week course, there will be readings, discussion, and guided meditation aimed at deepening our understanding of key concepts while also inspiring our practice. We will draw on the work of contemporary meditation teachers such as Christina Feldman, Joseph Goldstein and Gregory Kramer, as well as the writings of Buddhist monks Bhikkhu Bodhi and Ajahn Sucitto.

Besides looking carefully at key terms from the Pali language, as well as some of the discourses of the Buddha, we will be drawing on the poetry and writings of a number of poets and writers from different traditions. At times, we will do short writing exercises as a way to uncover our own assumptions and cultural conditioning.
