SUMMARY:21 Day Meditation Challenge 2025
DESCRIPTION:$54 or FREE if you join the Open Heart Project Sangha\n\n \n  \nWe long for change.\nAs we enter a new year\, it is natural to think of what we want to create\, change\, or leave behind. It is a time to dream and imagine what could be\, who we want to become\, and how we can create more love and goodness in our lives and in the world. Whether you just want less stress (who doesn’t?!) or a way to create peace on earth for all beings (who doesn’t?!)\, there is one tool that can help you\, perhaps better than any other: \nA strong\, steady meditation practice.\nAs we practice it in the Open Heart Project\, meditation is much more than a self-improvement technology. It is a way to stabilize your mind in the midst of chaos to remain focused\, strong\, and kind. It is a path to love. \nAs we sit in simplicity and silence\, we soften. As we soften\, we become vulnerable. Vulnerability is the root of love\, not to mention insight\, creativity\, presence\, and even courage. These are the seeds we plant with our practice. \nYou don’t have to head to a mountaintop or commit to many hours a day of meditation practice (although both are awesome) to reap these benefits. You just have to sit down. Every day. For 10-20 minutes. And that is exactly what we will do together from Jan 1-21. \nJoin me for a 21-day meditation challenge.\nAlmost everyone I have ever spoken to about their meditation practice has trouble practicing consistently. Hey\, me too! It’s not as simple as “making” yourself do it. We need more than individual resolve. A chance to reflect and connect with community provide the additional needed support. I promise–with these components (intention\, a way to contemplate the journey\, and knowing you are part of a community) your practice will take root in a lasting way. The 21-day challenge provides it all. \nWhen you sign up\, you’ll receive: \n\nEach morning beginning on Jan 1\, a daily guided audio meditation delivered right to your inbox. We will practice for 10 minutes a day during week one\, 15 minutes a day in week two and 20 minutes a day in week three. I think you’ll be surprised at how much easier it is when all you have to do is click “play.”\nA wrap-up gathering to check-in\, discuss questions\, and hear your reflections.\n\nJanuary 25 @ 12:00 pm -1:00 pm ET\n\n\nA PDF guide to the program that lays out the steps to create a home practice.\n21 short bonus videos\, one per day\, each with a meditation “tip.”\n\nBy the end of this 21-day period\, you will have a meditation practice that you can count on. \nI look forward to practicing with you. \nCost: $54\nCost for Open Heart Project sangha members: $0\nPlease consider joining the Open Heart Project sangha to receive this and other programs and gatherings for free.\n\n                                \n                        Purchase for $54 here                    \n            \n             \n\n                                \n                        Free with Monthly Sangha Membership here                    \n            \n             \n\n                                \n                        Free with Yearly Sangha Membership here                    \n            \n             \nSangha members register for free here \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Free info session Jan 10 to discuss the Buddhist Path (and a new program\, Buddhism Beyond Belief)
DESCRIPTION:Buddhism Beyond Belief\nJanuary 30 – April 10\, 2025\nBuddhist wisdom provides indestructible insight into how to live a life of compassion\, wisdom\, and bravery–even (or especially) during unprecedented times.  \nFrom my 30+ years of Buddhist practice and study\, I can tell you this: the dharma is real. It is a deeply nuanced guide for living a good and potent life. If you have any interest in exploring the Buddhist path and what it can offer to your inner life\, relationships\, creativity\, and home life\, please join me on Jan 10 for a free info session to discuss how to bring Buddhist teachings to life in your life. This has nothing to do with adopting new beliefs or pretending to be all “spiritual.” Rather\, it is about deepening your ability to love\, to ride the waves of uncertainty and possibility\, and to find ways home to your true self.  \nDuring this info session\, we will discuss how the Buddhist path is structured\, how it can support you\, and the power of a personal daily ritual to bring it all down to earth. \nI’ll also share details of an upcoming 11-week program I’m teaching\, Buddhism Beyond Belief: The Path of the Householder. It begins January 30 and is a chance to dive into this profound body of wisdom together. \nIt all happens on January 10. \nPlease register for the 10a ET session here. \nPlease register for the 6p ET session here. \n  \n A link to a recording will be sent to all who register\, so don’t worry if you can’t attend live. \nHope to see you there!  \nLove\, Susan \n
