With Dharma College Faculty

September 17 - October 29, 2026

THURSDAYS | 10:00–11:30 AM PACIFIC TIME | 1:00–2:30 PM EASTERN TIME

Join Dharma College for a journey into love, wisdom and the liberation of mind!  This is a multi-term program that promises to change our way of thinking about our lives, and change our experience for the better – every day.

From Dharma College:

Love is often understood as an emotion, a feeling that comes and goes depending on circumstances. Yet the great contemplative traditions teach that love can become something much deeper a way of being, a living expression of wisdom, openness, and connection.

In this one year course, we will explore how genuine love arises when we move beyond habitual patterns of self-concern and begin to experience ourselves as deeply interconnected with others and the world around us. Drawing upon contemplative teachings, experiential inquiry, and practical exercises, participants will investigate how the heart can become a source of insight, compassion, courage, and transformation.

Together we will examine the obstacles that limit our capacity to love, including fear, judgment, attachment, and separation, while cultivating qualities of kindness, empathy, generosity, and presence. Through guided reflections and direct experience, we will explore how love can become an active force that enriches relationships, deepens understanding, and supports a more meaningful engagement with life.

This course is designed for anyone who wishes to deepen their contemplative practice and explore the transformative potential of an awakened heart.
