We are living in a time of deep contradiction. It’s often painful to try and find a way to live with and within the both/and. An early teacher for me gave me a puzzle I continue to unpack: “In order to go toward truth, go toward paradox.”

Through contemplative, creative practices we lower our way into bittersweetness, then slowly attend to the widening gaps between ourselves and others, principles and actions, and other seeming divisions and separations in our personal, creative, and global lives.

This experimental, experiential offering is called Paradox, and will combine some of Level III Miksang (it’s ok if you haven’t taken it before) along with haiku, writing, collage, and movement. It is open to beginners, though having read about or studied haiku, Miksang, and/or contemplative practices is helpful.

Live dates via Zoom: Jan 25, Feb 8, Feb 22, Mar 1, Mar 15

In between, we will have an interactive private forum on Mighty Network.
