Class Description

“Dharma gives us the one thing we need to be fully human: Each of us must have one domain, one small place on the globe where we can fully meet life – where we can meet it with every gift we have. One small place where, through testing ourselves, we can know the nature of life, and ultimately know ourselves. This domain, this one place that is uniquely ours, is our work in the world.
– from “The Great Work of Your Life” by Stephen Cope

We live in increasingly chaotic times. Day after day, the stability of the world seems to be crumbling under our feet. Some of that change feels welcome and overdue, but much of it can leave us feeling confused and overwhelmed about what to do. 

Dharma teaches us that we have far more agency than we know. Each and every one of us holds the power to transform the suffering in the world. Dharma isn’t about your job or vocation – it’s about how you show up authentically in any given moment, aligned with your highest self and ultimately in service to all. Dharma isn’t about striving to do more or be better – it’s about releasing what isn’t yours so you can dial up who you really are and what you are here to do!

If you seek more meaning in your life and carry a wish inside you for a better world, join us on this FREE 75-minute call to learn more about this thing called dharma and why the world needs you to meet life with every gift that you already have.
