This exciting new offering presents an exploration of seven key ways of being (and related practices) that can be described as ‘the essence of awakening.’

Rick Hanson is known for his personal warmth and humor, his far-reaching knowledge and insight and his unbounded enthusiasm for the topics he writes and presents upon. Don’t miss out on this special opportunity!

The seven practices of awakening to be explored include:

“The complete development of these seven ways of being marks the pinnacle of human possibility, which could be called enlightenment or full awakening. Meanwhile, even the first simple sense of them is very useful in everyday life…” Rick Hanson
