Willow monastic academy is a training center near toronto, dedicated to developing the capacities of human mind. They engage in rigorous mental, ethical and interpersonal practices grounded in the buddhist tradition. Nathan will be there at least for the first session, and then going to get li and embody taste of it here at thestoa. And we'll talk about my experience of being at the manassic academy.
John Vervaeke speaks with Seishin and myself about the ecology of practices we are exploring in the Willow Intensive. This was originally recorded on The Stoa.
This episode includes a brief overview of the Harmony model and the five aspects we've been training to harmonize. We discuss the obstacles and opportunities of birthing a new kind of wisdom institution in the modern world, and the necessity of having an ecology of practices to adequately transform the human mind during a time of planetary crisis (and much more). The conversation ends with a Q&A.
We are offering two online courses for those who would like to explore these practices more deeply:
