Meeting the Five Hindrances

This online course sheds light on the five hindrances—sensual desire, ill will, dullness and drowsiness, restlessness and worry, and doubt—and offers skillful ways to engage with and find relief from them without simply ignoring or fighting them.

Over six weeks, you will explore these patterns in great depth and learn how to recognize them, practice with them in daily life, and meet them in a more skillful way.

With Christina Feldman, Christoph Köck, and Yuka Nakamura
