The Five Spiritual Powers - Learning to cultivate inner strength and wisdom

How can the Buddha’s teaching help us discover / uncover capacities which we may not be aware of that can help us face the challenges in our lives? And, not only that, can we nurture these qualities to be a resource, not only to ourselves, but to those in our lives.

The Five Spiritual Powers consist of Faith (Confidence), Energy (Courage), Mindfulness, Collectedness (Concentration), and Wisdom. All of us already have these qualities dwelling within us. In this course, we will learn (in the laboratory of our own lives) to recognize and nurture them. 

Over the course of this five week course, we'll work with all five of the spiritual powers, first learning how to notice where and when they are present and not present. Together we'll discover how to incorporate awareness of these facilities into our meditation practice. These special qualities of mind lead us to greater degrees of freedom from our habitual habits and reactivity. 

As always, there will be an opportunity for practice, instruction, and talks, as well as group dialogue and inquiry. Each week there will be ongoing practice assignments to support the practical application of these teachings into your daily life.
