Going Deeper: Dharma in Daily Life
This Going Deeper course will explore what it actually looks like to bring Buddhism and meditation into our everyday lives.
We will approach this in a number of ways. We will be welcoming guest speakers who will share their lived experience: what it feels like, the challenges, the joys, and the real opportunities that arise when we try to practise in the midst of work, relationships, responsibility, and uncertainty.
Alongside this, there will be plenty of space for reflection and discussion. Together we will explore different areas of life and consider how the Dharma can inform them. We will look honestly at the struggles and the resistances, as well as the successes and breakthroughs.
Join Dharmashalin and friends as we inquire into what it truly means to live the Dharma, not just on the cushion, but in the texture of daily life.
Tuesdays from 3 March – 7 April
Sessions run from 7.15-9.15pm with a tea break in the middle.
Doors open at 7pm, feel free to arrive early to settle in
All our classes and events are run by donation on a give what you can basis. There is no fixed fee.
‘By donation’ is a radical economy, read more about it here.
More about Going Deeper:
Once you have learnt the basics on our Introductory Courses you can continue exploring Buddhism and Meditation in Going Deeper.
As the name suggests, it is an invitation to go deeper: patiently, honestly, and with curiosity. We will explore how core Buddhist teachings unfold through sustained exploration: how insight matures, how obstacles become teachers, and how the Dharma can be integrated into the complexities of modern life. The emphasis is on depth, discernment, and lived experience.
You don’t need to think of yourself as a Buddhist, just someone who’s interested. Alternatively you may have been coming for a while and something in this theme speaks to you. All levels of experience are welcome.
