Towards Awakening is a Buddhist practice group dedicated to providing a supportive container for deepening the path of liberation in community.

Facilitated by Jeff Grizzard, the group is grounded in the Buddhist understanding that Awakening, or liberation from suffering, is possible in this very life, and emphasizes the cultivation of ethics (sīla), concentration (samādhi), and wisdom (paññā) as articulated in traditional Buddhist teachings.

Each meeting includes a period of silent or guided meditation, a shared Dharma reading or recording from a senior teacher, and time for group discussion and questions.

Practitioners of all experience levels are welcome. This class is offered freely.
