Spring Practice Period Class (5 classes)

  • Santa Cruz Zen Center 113 School Street Santa Cruz, CA 95060 United States (map)

10-11:30 am Sundays March 2, 9. 16, 23, 30 (5 classes including one Non Violent Communication class to be announced)

Harmonious relationships are the enactment of Buddha's Wisdom/Compassion teaching of No- separation and Emptiness. Our interpersonal communication plays a key part in cultivating harmonious relationships.

Sunday mornings in March we will participate in a Non-violent Communication (NVC) training and a discussion of Buddhist teaching on harmonious speech. Details are still being worked out, but there will be one half-day training in NVC (time TBA), some follow-up NVC sessions - - each 1-1/2 hours, and study of Right Speech, found in Buddha's teaching of the Eightfold Path of Liberation.

Suggested donation for the half-day NVC training will be $50 per person. The shorter classes will be our usual class fees: Sustaining Members $10 per class, all others $13 per class.  But please pay only what your budget will allow, as your participation is your most valuable contribution. 

Details to follow, as the NVC teachers confirm their schedules.
