The Examined Life

Advanced Practice

An ongoing group for experienced practitioners exploring the deeper themes in Waking Up: the nature of self, free will, consciousness, and the relationship between contemplative practice and daily life. We engage with both the meditation practices and the philosophical conversations in the app.
