2019-01-10 Integrating the Dhamma: A Monthlong Retreat in Your Daily Life 1:26:23
Kim Allen
The Dhamma is meant to be embodied, both on the cushion and in our daily lives - this makes it "onward-leading." This monthlong program will enliven our practice for the new year. The Five Spiritual Faculties serve as tools to develop our Dhamma skills, and also to evaluate and balance our practice. We will explore the Faculties through weekly meetings consisting of group practice discussion, teachings, and sutta readings. There will also be reflections to deepen and integrate our Dhamma understanding, and the support of spiritual friendship.

2019-03-12 Inner Ecology 54:46
Kim Allen
In this talk Kim Allen develops an ecological metaphor to help us cultivate our mind and develop our practice. She outlines four approaches to our practice grounded in terms of natural ecologies: 1) Broadening our focus 2) Revising our notions of good and bad 3) Developing a coherent sense of our goal by creating a healthy ecosystem and then letting go 4) Expanding from our inner ecology and balancing with the outer ecology.
