Course Details

 

In this four-week intensive course, the topic of discipline and productivity is approached from an inside-out perspective. Discipline is a path to walk on and a muscle to exercise and strengthen.

We learn not to be tossed around by our emotions and “external circumstances” over which we have little or no control.

 We will draw from the tradition of mindfulness practice and the wisdom of the ancient Greeks and Romans—Pythagoras, Socrates, Epictetus, Seneca and Marcus Aurelius.

Through the practices of mindfulness and generative writing, journaling, wisdom circles and group discussions, we see ourselves more clearly.

By identifying some of the inner, outer and secret obstacles to success and wellbeing, we recognize ways in which self-sabotage can occur.

Through the contemplative practices of Mindfulness, Stoicism and writing and practical strategies such as activity scheduling, habit-tracking, setting intention and daily review, we discover ways to achieve greater stability, focus and joy in our lives. Discipline is a key tool for making good use of our precious human life. 

What You'll Learn

  • Make good use of the sacred gift of each day and master your Time=Life.
  • Gain a clearer sense of the work that you wish to accomplish and organize your life in alignment with your core values.  
  • Through the practices of Mindfulness, Stoicism and Writing learn to paradoxically slow down to accomplish more.
  • Set intentions and work with inner and outer obstacles through the contemplative practices of maithri and loving kindness and practical strategies such as activity scheduling and daily review.
  • Achieve one-pointed attention, focus and embody the paramita of discipline.
