Increasingly, we seem to live in a culture of fear, amid threats of terrorism, violence, environmental disasters, and distrust in our leaders. Fear and groundlessness are pervasive, but according to Buddhist teacher Gaylon Ferguson, it is the very potency of this fear that makes it such a powerful tool for personal and cultural transformation. The book Natural Bravery offers wise and pointed teachings for helping us to look at fear with immediacy and courage, and to engage with it as a path to transform ourselves—and the world. Walking this path, we learn to cultivate fearlessness and to connect more deeply with others and with the natural world.

Together we will read, discuss, and contemplate the book, Natural Bravery, exploring fear, bravery, and fearlessness. Each class will include a period of meditation and contemplation.

Natural Bravery is available wherever books are sold, in paperback or ebook format. You can obtain it locally at Perfect Books (on Elgin), or Books on Beechwood. While we will be working with the book, the class will be structured to allow full participation whether or not you have read it.
