Online — Collapsing the Conditioned Self: A Four-Week Course in Understanding Karma

A four-week, online course, Wednesdays, 5:00–6:30 pm ET

On the night of his final liberation, it is said that the Buddha gained insight into the complex workings of karma and was able to experientially understand how the laws of interdependence function to either set us free or further entrap us in neurosis and suffering. Have you ever wondered what karma really means and how this challenging topic can become a powerful liberative tool on the Buddhist path?

If so, please join Lama Liz for this four-week course where we will explore the deeper meanings of the term “karma” and how these can be harnessed in our direct experience to free us from the conditioned habits and patterns of thought and emotional reactivity that often cause us to feel trapped by causes and conditions beyond our control. In fact, as we will discover, karma is not a prison within which we are condemned to suffer, but it is instead a matrix of malleable energies that can be directed towards the deepest level of awakening.

Closed captioning is available on all online retreats and courses.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION. Please read carefully! The Zoom link will be emailed to all those registered several days before the course begins if you registered early. If you register at any point after the course has started, the Zoom link will be emailed shortly after you submit your registration. If you don’t see an email from Natural Dharma Registrar or Wonderwell Mountain Refuge, it may have mistakenly gone to your spam/junk  folder or Promotions or Update categories. It may help if you add the sending address of our booking program to your Contacts list: <register+wonderwellrefuge@retreat.guru>.

The same Zoom link will be used each week, so you may want to save it in your calendar so that it is easily accessible. It will also be available in the dashboard of your user account beginning three days before the retreat begins.
