I'm really looking forward to teaching this four night retreat in California with Trudy Goodman, my longtime mentor and teaching colleague. We'll take a deep dive into exploring the dharma of desire and how we can actively practice with it as a doorway to liberation. More info and registration here.

Join us Monday! Lisa's talk will focus on "chanda," which in the dharma is wise and intelligent desire not rooted in craving or ignorance. The Buddha said that chanda, in this context, is absolutely essential to any progress on the dharma path.
