Revolutionary Dharma (The Dharma Dialogues Monthly Online Series) – December

Revolutionary Dharma is part of The Dharma Dialogues, a monthly online series of conversations with spiritual pioneers, held live over the internet. The December gathering is connected with Lama Willa Blythe Baker, a meditation teacher at Natural Dharma Fellowship, and sits within the series called Conversations for Uncertain Times. It is for anyone drawn to Buddhist teachings and contemplative practice who wants thoughtful dialogue about how to live and practice when the ground feels unsettled, from the comfort of home.

What to Expect

The series is built around dialogue rather than lecture. Each session brings together inspiring spiritual pioneers in conversation, and the focus is on the questions people are carrying in uncertain times. You can take part in a single dialogue session or join the wider series that runs through the middle of the year. Because it is held online, you can attend from wherever you are.

About Lama Willa Blythe Baker

Lama Willa Blythe Baker is a meditation teacher at Natural Dharma Fellowship, a community in Springfield, New Hampshire, whose retreat center is Wonderwell Mountain Refuge. The fellowship describes its approach as natural meditation, inspired by the natural world.

She originally crafted the teachings of the fellowship's Margha Program. Margha means "path" in Sanskrit. The two-year program alternates between Natural Meditation and Bodhicitta, drawing on meditations adapted from traditional Himalayan Buddhist training. It is open to newcomers and to seasoned practitioners. Lama Liz Monson and visiting lamas now transmit these teachings at the program's retreats, and Mitras, who are spiritual friends and mentors, guide participants through the year.

Lama Willa also teaches in the fellowship's Natural Freedom Dzogchen Program, also called the Natural Freedom Sangha.

Before You Go

This is an online event, so all you need is a device with an internet connection and a quiet place to listen. No prior experience is described as a requirement, and single sessions are available for those who would like to try one dialogue before committing to more.
