📅 The Year at a Glance
Program Overview
The year unfolds as a living mandala—softening the heart, strengthening the
spirit, awakening joy, and guiding us toward compassionate service.
Each quarter echoes the balance of inner and outer life, gradually deepening your capacity to meet the world with both courage and tenderness.
Meeting the Suffering of the World
Where tenderness becomes wisdom, and wisdom becomes the ground for action
We begin by tending the heart. We learn to sit with sorrow without drowning, to feel grief without shutting down, and to sense the aliveness of the world within and around us.
The Tender Heart of Awareness
We explore the "inner climate" of our own hearts, sensing storms, sunlight, and everything in between. Through poetry, meditation, and mindful inquiry, we learn that tenderness is not weakness—it is a form of courage.
Grief as a Teacher
Here we turn toward grief, not as a burden but as a doorway to deeper connection. We honor losses personal and collective, and we discover how grief, when held wisely, becomes an expression of love.
The Courage to Stay Present
We reclaim our nervous systems from overwhelm. We practice turning off the news when needed, grounding ourselves in presence, and remembering—through ancient indigenous wisdom—that life is always conspiring for life.
Compassion in Action
Where the inner heart begins to shape the outer world
Having established a foundation of steadiness, we begin to express compassion outwardly. We learn to listen without defending, to forgive without forgetting, and to transform anger into clarity.
Seeing Through the Eyes of Others
We practice empathy across differences, softening the boundaries of identity and learning to listen with the whole body.
Transforming Anger and Judgment
Anger becomes a teacher. We explore how to hold it wisely, allowing its fire to illuminate rather than burn.
Love as a Verb
Compassion becomes movement. We explore how small, ordinary gestures of kindness can ripple outward as acts of extraordinary love.
Wise Hope
Where resilience blooms into joy
These months restore joy as an essential nutrient for the engaged heart. Joy becomes a form of resistance to despair, a reminder that beauty is part of our birthright.
The Alchemy of Resilience
We explore resilience not as tightening but as opening—to wisdom, to connection, and to the truth of our interdependence.
Joy as Resistance
Joy becomes a revolutionary act. We remember laughter, play, creativity, and delight as the heart's natural ways of healing.
The Light That Remains
We nurture faith in humanity. Through stories of redemption and healing, we are reminded that transformation is always possible.
Sacred Service
Where wisdom naturally becomes offering
In the final months, inner practice ripens into outer contribution. Service becomes not an obligation, but a natural expression of a liberated heart.
The Call to Serve
We listen for what love is asking of us and discover our unique way of responding.
Communities of Care
We explore how to create refuges of belonging, remembering that the next Buddha may come as community.
The Heart of Humanity
We gather the threads of the year, reflecting on what has softened and strengthened. In gratitude, we step into the new year with clarity and purpose.
By the end of this journey, you will embody the balance at the heart of the Dharma:
A calm mind and a courageous heart.
A quiet presence and a strong voice.
Inner wisdom and outer action.
This is the path of living the Dharma in a troubled world. And you are already walking it.
