This course is designed for beginners.  It is also appropriate for anyone wanting to establish or re-establish a meditation practice.   If you have had trouble being consistent in meditation, taking a class can be a good way to energize and re-dedicate yourself.

Suffering is an undeniable part of the human condition. We all experience it, but we don’t understand it or know how to free ourselves from its grip.  We try various methods and techniques that help us feel better for a while, but inevitably we find ourselves ensnared once again — often by the same issues.  How can we escape this circular pattern?  The teachings called the Four Noble Truths offer profound insights into our dilemma.  Practicing these insights leads to the end of suffering.
