The Joy of Being Term Two:  The Flavor of Experience: Being Present through Breath

When you can taste and enjoy the flavor of experience, when you can feel good about yourself and comfortable in your body, you can see for yourself the treasures that can be cultivated (p.54).

This four-week term continues to present The Joy of Being’s approach to building and strengthening the Kum Nye experience– a foundation for truly embodying Kum Nye. In practices drawn from “Part Two: Breath,” breath connects with feeling, encouraging tasting and enjoying the flavor of experience and enriching the ground of meditation.

This is the second of seven modules of the Nyingma Institute International Joy of Being Teacher Training program that also includes 9 weekend workshops and runs through February 2027.

These weekly classes can be taken separately, just for the love of it, with permission of the instructors.

Two sections:

Mondays: 6-7:30 PM Pacific Standard time.  Hybrid: in-person with Nyingma Institute in Berkeley and online.

Abbe Blum and Santosh Phillip

Wednesdays: 10-11:30 AM, 6PM U.K./ GMT  U.K. Based faculty. Online only.

Jonathan Clewley. In addition, another section is offered in Dutch.
