The Science of Enlightenment Online Course
If I had a nickel for every time a Brightminder said "I love Shinzen's book, The Science of Enlightenment", I'd be rich! And in a recent survey, the winning idea for what I work on next was an Online Course focused on the book. So let's do this!
If you don't already know, much of what I present in Brightmind is based on an approach to meditation developed by Shinzen Young. His book is the perfect addition to Brightmind, adding helpful background, inspiration, and entertaining stories. If you like Brightmind, you'll love The Science of Enlightenment.
Here are the basic components of the course:
๐ Meet once a week to discuss a chapter of the book (I'll summarize the material, we'll do breakouts, Q&A, some guided practice, too)
๐โโ๏ธ 3 Ask Me Anythings with the one and only Shinzen Young
๐๏ธ Total of 16 1-hour sessions
๐งโโ๏ธ Access to 3 daily group sits
๐ฌ Dedicated group chat for sharing reflections
๐ท๏ธ $349 per person (comes out to $23 per session, so similar to a yoga class)
Shinzen Young, the author of The Science of Enlightenment

The group will meet via Zoom on Thursdays at 1pm New York (10am Los Angeles, 7pm Paris) for 1 hour. All classes will be recorded and shared with the group, so you'll be able to catch up if you miss a class.

This online course offers a unique opportunity to gather weekly in a small group to learn and practice together. You'll no doubt come out of the experience with friendships based on shared values, and an accelerated meditation practice. I hope you'll join us!
