During times of pandemic, social discord and uncertainty, it is both vital and inspiring to find voices of compassion and wisdom from our past, and to connect with a community of like-minded people now. After 2500 years, the Buddha&rsquo;s vision of human spiritual life is still relevant, radical, practical and fresh. This day workshop will give participants an introduction to the life and core teachings of the Buddha, and all they need to begin their own practice! Basic meditation instruction will be given as well as an introduction to Buddhist ethics, wisdom teachings, and symbolism.&nbsp;</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>

Suitable for complete beginners, or those seeking to explore Buddhism and meditation more deeply.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
