The sublime attitudes of goodwill, compassion, appreciation, and equanimity express profound wisdom and care. These attitudes elevate our view and deepen our understanding of experience. By practising them, we become a friend to all life, wishing the best for all beings, including ourselves. We will explore how these practices can help us feel into limitless expansiveness and boundless inclusiveness, and understand how they can shape our lives towards greater meaningfulness.

When we live in a reactive way, we create distance. It's hard to see the world clearly when we can't get close to it. This distance is reinforced by assumptions we often don't realise we hold. For example, believing that the way things appear is the way they really are (naïve realism), and that lasting fulfilment can come from reactive grasping and rejecting.
This three-week course will guide us to recompose our sense of the world and reconsider our ways of relating, to shrink this distance from life and find infinite freedom in being equally close to all things. The weekly sections of the course will feature clear and understandable Dharma principles, meditation instructions to practice throughout the week, and opportunities for questions and responses. This can be used as a lead in to the hybrid retreat at Gaia House called Unequalled Radiance starting the week after this ends.

Equanimity is not a practice of dull withdrawal, it's a way that comes alive. One that invites every part of us to transform as it resolves and releases suffering and distress. The path unfolds through the subtle undoing of fabricated experiences; the resolving of confused inattention into wise observation, the releasing of contraction into boundless expansion, and the dissolving of reactive agitation into receptive accommodation. It has been depicted in the texts as a fist opening in the heart-mind that unlocks the peacefulness of all things. Touched yet deeply rooted, pliable yet not distorted, flexible yet reliable, equanimity is radiant ease.

When we cultivate peace, equanimity or freedom, we may tend to see it as gaining freedom from certain aspects of experience. On this course we will explore our capacity to develop freedom with; to meet different aspects of experience with tenderness, intimacy and a steadiness that is inclusive and vast in its capacity.
This five-week course will explore how we can access peace and equanimity within the push and pull of conditioned existence, excluding nothing and yet transforming everything. The weekly sections of the course will feature clear and understandable Dharma principles, meditation instructions to practice throughout the week, and opportunities for questions and responses. This can be used as a follow on from the hybrid retreat at Gaia House called Unequalled Radiance ending the day this begins.
