Freedom means different things to different people, but the Buddhist teachings point to ultimate freedom as understanding and experiencing the open nature of our being and our world. In this course, we will work with the classic Buddhist text, the Heart Sutra, a brief and deeply insightful teaching that challenges fixed ideas of who we are and shows how to uncover our capacity for wisdom and compassion. Come join us and together we’ll explore what it means to be free.
No prerequisites apply. This course is now full and registration is closed.

When available as an option, your generosity in offering the patron price helps cover the costs for others who are not able to pay the full price. Any amount offered above the Program Price is considered a charitable donation to the centre, and will be included in a tax receipt issued by email in February of the following year.

For programs that have a register button, it is helpful for us if you can indicate your intention to attend by registering ahead of time. In order to prevent duplicate entries in the Shambhala Database, all registrations are reviewed before you will receive a confirmation email.
