Celeste will be a guest speaker in conversation with Jake Dartington at Bodhi College around the theme of joy and gratitude in Dharma practice.

From Bodhi College: Bodhi College's popular Thinking Out Loud sessions are back providing a regular space to come together as sangha – practice the dharma, discuss and reflect alongside our teachers, online. As the opportunity to sit together in person remains limited, we offer this in the spirit of generosity, so that we all may sustain ourselves through the continuing unfolding of these times.

Session 1:

12th September at 4pm BST (8:00am PST for those in the US) with follow-up discussion 16th September at 7pm BST (11am PST for those in the US)

Theme: Joy With Jake Dartington and Celeste Young

What is the role of joy on a path of awakening? While our practice often focuses on the challenges of human life, it is also beautiful to make space for joy. We’ll discuss how finding joy in the happiness of others is a powerful antidote to feelings of envy and lack. There will also be space to explore how practices that develop gratitude free us from habitual ways of seeing ourselves and the world.

Time: 8am PST // 4pm UK time. Offered on a Dana basis. Celeste will be participating only in the Sep 12th session.
