Self-Paced Online Courses
Everything here is self-paced — yours to move through whenever and however suits your life. Each course grew out of my own practice and my work with students: a way to go deeper into one part of the path, whether that's working with anxiety, opening the heart, or walking the bodhisattva path.
What they share is a focus on practice you can actually live, not just understand. Have a look and see what meets you where you are.
Buddhist Practices for Opening the Heart
This self-paced course works with the practices the tradition built for a heart that's quietly closed — when compassion has become more idea than feeling. Through the four boundless qualities, tonglen, and the meeting of compassion and wisdom, you'll work toward warmth that's something you feel, not just understand.
The Dharma Reboot
Most practices hit a wall eventually — the sitting goes flat, the same obstacles keep returning. This eight-week course is a practical guide for that moment. Not by clearing every difficulty out of the way, but by changing how you meet it: working skillfully with thoughts and emotions until the practice comes back to life.
The Union of Compassion & Wisdom
It's possible to understand compassion and wisdom without quite living them — to know the ideas and still feel the gap between head and heart. This six-week course works to close that gap, with Buddhist practices that turn understanding into a way of being.
Walking the Bodhisattva Path of Compassion
The bodhisattva ideal can feel lofty — a life for saints, not for someone with a job and a family. This self-paced course walks through The Thirty-Seven Practices of a Bodhisattva, a beloved 14th-century Tibetan text written to make it walkable: turning the path of compassion into something you actually do, verse by verse.
Unwinding Anxiety
For many of us, anxiety has become a near-constant companion. This self-paced course offers a different relationship with it — not a problem to erase, but something you can learn to meet, through meditation, embodied practice, and Buddhist wisdom. The aim isn't a life without anxiety, but the steadiness to live well alongside it.
Training the Mind: Lojong and Mindfulness
Lojong — "mind training" — is a path for how we meet experience: our own minds as much as the people around us. This six-week course works through the Eight Verses of Mind Training, an ancient text for steadying the mind and opening the heart, toward yourself and others.
