Our mind has limitless potential. But we can easily find ourself stuck in repetitive ways of thinking and behaving. Buddha taught many gentle methods to help us transform our mind and break free from old habits.

Each week will include:

<ul>
<li>guided breathing meditation </li>
<li>a short teaching on how to access more inner calm and kindness </li>
<li>a concluding contemplative time</li>
<li>Q&amp;A time with Gen Khedrub</li></ul>
Tuesday, April 16 - Purification practice
Tuesday, May 7 - Equalizing self and others 
Tuesday, May 21 - Taking and giving

Location: These classes are held at the Church of the Covenant, 67 Newbury St.

Cost: $12 per class / free for members.

No experience is required before attending this class.
Swet Studio® sessions are a group experience in which participants are individually suspended in silk hammocks, free of the cares and noises of the earth, and directed to a state of inner calm. It's a calming, soothing session where the body and mind work together to restore spirit and vigor. This session involves rehabilitative approaches as well as levitating meditations, joint opening positions, and a floating savasana, making it ideal for those in recovery (cocoon). You'll experience the delightful sensation of "floating"!

The Huntington at the Calderwood Pavilion / BCA

Emmy-winning actor Gordon Clapp (NYPD Blue) will bring his acclaimed portrayal of poet Robert Frost to Boston this Spring in the one-man show "Robert Frost: This Verse Business" by local playwright A.M. Dolan. It’s an entertaining portrait of the great poet and platform legend whose public “talks” were hot tickets for nearly half a century and an illuminating glimpse of the old bard at home, aware of his fame and failures, with poems still to write and “promises to keep.”\
Directed by Gus Kaikkonen, performances will run from April 23-28, 2024 (<a href="mailto:jbpr@comcast.net">Press Performance April 23 or 24</a>) in the Roberts Studio Theatre at Boston’s Calderwood Pavilion at the Boston Center for the Arts, Tuesday - Friday, 7:30 PM; Saturday and Sunday, 2:00 PM. Tickets are $75 - $25. For more information, visit <a href="https://bostontheatrescene.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">bostontheatrescene.com</a> or call 617 933 8600. “The Boston performances reflect a homecoming of sorts for the poet, who had a home on Beacon Hill and then, for the last two decades, in Cambridge on Brewster St.,” said Dolan. “He died in Boston, just weeks after giving his final ‘talk’ at the Ford Hall Forum. 2024 is the 150th anniversary of his birth, and April is ‘Poetry Month.’ The time felt right for the Boston premiere.” "Frost is a voice that we need in this century," Clapp said. "I feel like I'm bringing him into this time again."
