We are living in divisive times and are constantly being asked to adopt this binary view of “us” and “them”, creating a break in our society of who belongs and who gets othered.

Knowing how deeply our lives are intertwined is the refrain that reminds us that we belong to each other, and invites us to cultivate practices that connect us.

The Five Precepts (or ethical trainings), in their monastic framework, are designed to discipline and purify the three avenues of human action: body, speech, and mind.

In this Day of Practice, Buddhist philosophy and meditation teacher Leslie Booker will reframe this traditional understanding of the precepts, transforming them into a practice of cultivation.

Booker will guide us in formal periods of still and moving meditation, centering our practice on what it looks and feels like to radically embrace belonging and connection.
