2024 – 2025 Eightfold Path Program (In-Person and Zoom)
**Registration now open, see link after description**
Taught by Tanya Wiser, Liz Powell, Chris Clifford, and others
One Sunday a month 1:00 to 3:30 pm with a concluding Saturday daylong in June, 2025
The Buddha’s most explicit path of practice is the Eightfold Path—a set of eight practical approaches to bring Buddhist practice into the width and depth of our lives. The Eightfold Path Program is an introduction to each of the Eightfold factors so participants will discover how to apply each set of practices in ways that are personally meaningful.
Pre-requisite: completion of IMC’s Introduction to Meditation course or the equivalent.
NOTE:we are full for the mentoring options mentioned below but we will offer a monthly drop-in mentoring/Q&A session open to all.
There is an option to apply for individual or possibly small group mentoring, meaning additional monthly hour-long meetings with a senior practitioner to discuss your work with each factor. The application below covers both mentored and non-mentored options.
The in-person and online versions will be separate but will occur in parallel at the same time. Participants may attend either version any time, although we encourage you to pick one as primary to build community. After registering, you will receive Zoom links and course materials by email.
Registration required: application form
