Ayya Santacitta
July 9 - 30, 2026

Description:
With Buddha, Dharma and Sangha as our guides, this series explores remembering ourselves as part of a living, intelligent Earth. The human being is a somatic receptor site for the planet’s self-organizing intelligence, provided we attune to that in-formation. Learning to trust the healing recalibration of the biosphere acting through us, we uncover a sense of reverence for the Web of Life we belong to.
In this class series we will co-create a safe container that explores different ways of engaging with embodied experience, supporting a deeper sense of community with all of life. From this renewed sense of relationship a natural appreciation of accountability and care becomes available to inform our next steps on the Path.
Practices offered include Dharma reflections, guided meditations, exploratory sharing circles and chanting. You are invited to bring body awareness in meditation and an open heart-mind for looking at your life and world differently.
Online Only: We are offering this program online via Zoom.
Class dates are: July 9, 16, 23, 30; all classes are held on Thursdays from 4:30-6:00pm US Pacific Time.
