What You'll Explore

You can practice mindfulness for years without fully understanding the psychological framework behind it.

Buddhist psychology offers a precise way of investigating how experience is constructed: how we perceive, feel, react, identify, and continually reinforce habitual patterns.

In this workshop, we'll bring these teachings out of the realm of Buddhist philosophy and into direct relationship with meditation practice—so you can recognize these processes in your own experience.
