About this Series

8-week Series

8:00am CT (60 minutes), Thursdays, 9 April – 28 May, 2020

An 8-Week Series with Karuna; the third in her Living Beautifully year-long exploration with Pema Chödrön.  No need to have attended the prior modules -- you're welcome to register for individual modules or the entire year-long series.

Each class will be an invitation to recharge your battery, recommit to living beautifully, and reset your intention for the week.

In this module, we will be leaning on Pema Chödrön’s book, “Wisdom of No Escape.” 

“Wholeheartedness is a precious gift, but no one can actually give it to you. You have to find the path that has heart and then walk it impeccably.  In doing that, you again and again encounter your own uptightness, your own headaches, your own falling flat on your face…It humbles you. It opens your heart.” Pema Chodron

Using the three lenses of Precision, Gentleness, and the Practice of Letting Go, we will explore what it means to live with an open and courageous heart in a rough and tumble world.How can we use these three qualities to show up for ourselves and others in masterful and sometimes profound ways? Likewise, how can we use these three qualities to show up for ourselves and others in helpful and kind ways?

“This is the book that saved my life when I was on an extended meditation retreat.  Every time I wanted to shut down or run away, I opened up this book to the most perfect sentence or two that gifted me the wisdom I needed exactly in that moment to remind me to stay with whatever was arising.” - Karuna

Remember if you miss a session - they're recorded

“My vision is that participants will leave each session feeling recharged and energized for whatever uncertainty and change they meet that week. To live beautifully requires us to spend time in quiet reflection, mindful action, and self-care/retreat. Finding a way to integrate spiritual practices into each breath we take and our actions while living and working out and about in the world is my greatest desire. Together we will explore the many ways we each are caring for and supporting others and ourselves.” -- Karuna Whether you sign up for the entire year or just one series at a time, the touchstone of one hour each devoted to living beautifully will have a profound effect on your spirit.
