Halt Mental Hindrances

The Five Hindrances workshop is a five-week “live” class series devoted to learning how to handle the five “Hindrances.” Hindrances are negative mental states that can impede your practice and motivate unskillful behavior.

The class series begins on December 6th, 2014, and each class focuses upon a single hindrance:

  • December 6: Desire & Craving
  • December 13: Anger & Aversion
  • December 20: Sloth & Torpor
  • January 10: Restlessness & Remorse
  • January 17: Doubt

Buddhist teacher Ronya Banks will teach you awareness practices to help you work with the hindrances skillfully, so that you may transform them into friends who no longer visit you! Classes will consist of teacher instruction, group discussion, and a short meditation period.

Class size is limited to 25 participants. Register early to save your spot!
