Kevin Griffin and Vimalasara, MA
While we all long for safety and freedom in our lives, many of us struggle with compulsive and addictive thoughts and behaviors that undermine our happiness. Through meditation, interactive exercises, Dharma talks, and Q&A, we will explore ways to release ourselves from these painful habits and find more freedom and joy throughout our lives.

How 'Not Wanting' is the Key
2024-06-02 10:00 | BRN Academy
Next BRN Academy teaching with Walt Opie — June 2nd 2024 @ 10:00am US Pacific Time

I once heard the teacher Joseph Goldstein say on a retreat that what we are really practicing is “not wanting.” He added that this is the Third Noble Truth (of the Four Noble Truths). In this talk I will explore how I understand this and what it has meant to my practice and in my recovery process. Certainly when I was still drinking and using drugs I never once recall thinking that “not wanting” was the way to go.
