This Course is For You, If
…you don’t want the teachings to fade into memory, but to anchor them in your life — with time, presence, and reflection.
…you long for more than just inspiration — you want integration. A gentle way to keep walking this path, step by step.
…you find comfort in revisiting wisdom, not rushing to the next thing — and value having guidance that meets you where you are.
…you know that clarity doesn’t come from more input, but from returning again and again to what truly matters.

What Participants Are Saying
Dear Nicole, dear everyone in the DA team,

I want to say how deeply grateful I am for the launch weekend of the Dharma Academy. I probably can't imagine what it took for you to prepare this event and all the effort you put into it - especially towards the end, given the challenging circumstances of Roshi’s stroke. I am so glad, he is recovering so well…. 

You all did an amazing job! It was so well-organized and highly professional, with such depth in the topics and a genuine connection to the people participating. The program was fantastic, with inspiring speakers addressing these important questions and issues. (And I’ve only heard part of it so far — looking forward very much to listen to the rest.) 

With a deep bow, gratitude and connectedness

Dear Tatsudo Roshi, dear Dharma Academy‒ Team,

I am so grateful I could be a part of this wonderful event!
All of the lectures of the impressive teachers were inspiring and often very touching. The teachers all totally  incorporated the love, compassion and suchness they were talking about.

I m sure you already moved a lot in our common deep wish to help making things better.
  The most important perception for me was that I first have to "work on my cusshion" with questions about my values, my daily interactions with my environment and to let suffering in.
To connect with everyone I met as if he/ she/ it were my spiritual teacher.
I thank you so much for all the work you did. It is very impressing how such an event already can really change a life‒ path.

Good People,
I especially found the panel discussion this afternoon to be quite profound in increasing my awareness of how self-compassion opens the door, dissolves the illusory curtain,
to holding the same compassion for another being. I was moved by Ryuten Paul Rosenblum Roshi’s 
succinct answer to my question about peeling back the curtain.
I will definitely be going over the videos of the weekend for further golden nuggets.
