We'll explore the awakening factor of calm and how it supports both the deepening of our meditation practice and happiness and skillfulness in daily life. Ethical conduct and renunciation will also be discussed as supports for calm. Gabe Keller Flores has been part of the Common Ground community since 2008, when he was a high schooler falling in love with the Dharma. He currently serves as Operations Manager, and previously was Office Manager and Secretary on the Board of Directors. As a practitioner and teacher, he’s interested in the integration of love and wisdom and the natural process of awakening taught by the Buddha. Common Ground offers all programs freely in the spirit of generosity.
