Course Overview
The Being Nature Book Club course is a live online course based on the book Being Nature: A Down-to-Earth Guide to the Four Foundations of Mindfulness by Wes Nisker. These Book Club courses are a bit different though: you don’t even have to read the book if you don’t want to! It provides a practical programme, complete with enjoyable, even playful meditations (guided by Adele from the book) for realising greater self-awareness, increased wisdom, and happiness. It shows how recent discoveries in physics, evolutionary biology, and psychology express in scientific terms the same insights the Buddha discovered more than 2,500 years ago.
