Advanced Buddhist Studies

A Yearlong Deep Dive into Buddhist Philosophy & Meditation

Live Class Sessions Wednesdays 7-9 PM Eastern Time

January - December 2026

Join my friends at A Mindful World and I as we launch our very first offering on this new online platform/emergent drama community. A Mindful World is dedicated to bringing the deep psychological and spiritual teachings, as well as practical tools of mindfulness meditation into life as it unfolds in the modern world. In this first (free!) on-demand course, each of us offers a brief reflection on how understanding the Buddhist teachings of the Five Remembrances applies to unlocking the places where we feel stuck, accessing gratitude as a source for joy, as well as helping us remember our (inter)connection with others.

True Nature:

An Outdoor (moving) Meditation

Sunday, June 7th

9:30 am - 12:00 pm*

at Atrium Movement & Events

“The world is its own magic.” (Suzuki Roshi)

Join us for a morning of nature-based meditation right in your own Portland neighborhood backyard. 

We will begin (inside) at Atrium for simple mindfulness instruction that we will then take “off the cushion” and out into the world through walking meditation to Mt. Tabor Park. Here, among the hills and trees, we will explore a variety of guided sensory awareness practices designed to deepen our awareness, as well as our connection to the earth.

Practicing outdoors offers a quiet but powerful way to open your heart and remind you of your own innately wild, boundless nature.

*Practice will happen rain or shine so please come dressed for the weather. Time includes a (silent) roundtrip walk to/from Mt. Tabor (approximately 30 minutes each way). For those who prefer to drive and/or meet at the park, a designated meeting spot will be provided upon registration.

Yearlong Buddhist Studies Program:

Tuesdays, January 27 - December 8, 2026

7 - 9 PM Eastern/4 - 6 PM Pacific (online)

Yearlong Buddhist Studies is a deep training in meditation, Buddhist philosophy and psychology, spanning the entire 2026 year. This program comprising five 6-week online courses is suited for students of all experience levels.

Designed to be highly practical (and occasionally geeky), this program will provide a comprehensive overview of the Buddhist path, with an emphasis on the psychological, metaphysical, and socially engaged elements, and will help you establish or reestablish a commitment to regular meditation practice through a variety of Buddhist techniques. 

This is a live, online program that will engage students in interactive learning and community. Students will also receive lifetime access to all session recordings.

Please note that this course is offered in 6-week segments with a summer break mid-June to mid-September.
