The Foundation Studies class this year will be led by Matthew Lowes at the CSS meeting hall at 5440 Saratoga street, and will start in early October and conclude in the summer. The meetings are scheduled for time and day of week TBD. These meetings will also be available through Zoom [Need to confirm] for those unable to attend in person.
The Foundation Studies course is intended to introduce participants to foundational teachings and practices of the major mystical traditions. It includes instruction for practices of meditation and working with precepts, as well as readings from Joel's book The Way of Selflessness. Optionally, you may also wish to supplement your learning experience by reading books from the recommended reading list, most of which may be found in the CSS library.
Completion of the FS course is generally recommended as prerequisite for attending other regular practitioner groups and CSS sponsored retreats.
