Meet Sharon Salzberg
Hi, I'm Sharon Salzberg, and for over the last 50 years, I've been practicing and teaching meditation. I co-founded the Insight Meditation Society in Barre, Massachusetts, and that's where I'm speaking to you from now.
I first heard about Buddhism and meditation in an Asian philosophy course in college, and within a year or so, I was living in India on the intuition that the methods of meditation I might learn there would bring me some clarity and peace. They did. And following that intuition, that little flame of possibility has yielded results I could never have imagined as an 18-year-old stepping off the train in India.
That little flame of possibility, that initial intuition, is what this Tricycle course on faith centers on. How do we foster that burgeoning sense of possibility to create a place of internal ease, safety, and confidence?
Embarking on a journey of faith doesn't mean you need to go to India like I did, but...
I hope that during this course on faith, you'll learn the ways in which you can skillfully move beyond that initial flicker of intuition into a tested, trusted place of connection and possibility.
