Buddhist Teachings
for Everyday Life
Based in her 30+ years of experience as a student and a teacher, Susan Piver discusses traditional teachings like the four noble truths, the middle way, and the six paramitas with an eye toward making them relevant in everyday life without sacrificing the depth.
Let’s go beyond the science and celebrity testimonials to discover the deeper powers of meditation which point, not toward self-improvement but to self-discovery.
30 Days of
Dharma
WITH SUSAN PIVER AND CRYSTAL GANDRUD
Introducing a new, deeply personal, small-group immersion program in spiritual practice and friendship. Over 30 days, you’ll orient your life toward what matters most to you through weekly gatherings, daily ritual, and three private one-to-one conversations with Susan Piver and Crystal Gandrud.
We will live the dharma rather than only studying it, right in the middle of our ordinary, messy, beautiful lives.
Space is limited.
NEW BOOK!
INEXPLICABLE MAGIC
Meditation for Mystics
“If you’re looking for a book that will make you calmer, more efficient, and slightly better at meetings…keep walking. Inexplicable Magic is about what meditation actually does: it messes with your plans, softens your defenses, and introduces you to a kind of intelligence you don’t control.
“Susan Piver isn’t selling mindfulness as a lifestyle accessory. She’s pointing to the real thing—lineage, mystery, heartbreak, and the strange fact that what you’re looking for doesn’t come from you… it comes to you.”
Samuel Bercholz, author of Rude Awakenings, An Unconventional Guide to the Buddhist Path and A Guided Tour of Hell
