If you’re curious to learn more about the types of conversations we’re holding within our Certificate Programs, check out this lecture from our Certificate Program in Embodied Wisdom where Thanissara discusses the feminine as essential to our awakening. Thanissara, MA in Mindfulness-Based Psychotherapy, is a Climate Activist, author, co-founder of Dharmagiri Sacred Mountain Retreat, Buddhist teacher, and visiting faculty of our Certificate Program in Embodied Wisdom.
This video is a snapshot of a class in progress, where Thanissara applies the Dharma to our times of planetary emergency. She comments on what has led to our current collective consciousness, which she describes as being divorced from a deep sense of belonging. Thanissara invites us to look more deeply into our understanding of the world, and reflect on the internal and external narratives that define who we are both individually and collectively. She discusses how the dharma has the capacity to illuminate the potential of the medicine of awareness, investigation, inquiry and freedom, to explore and make conscious choices. Thanissara also dives into the importance of reclaiming the feminine in support of our liberation. She describes the feminine as a nondualistic, formless, intuitive awareness which allows us to move beyond the cognitive into a place of embodied feeling. This place of embodied feeling takes us away from an objectification of the other, and toward a stance of interconnection—which is critical at this planetary moment in time.

Check out this short video, where Chantelle Brown, MSW, LMSW, and Co-Director of our Certificate Program in Embodied Wisdom, shares her perspective on what this program offers participants and how it impacts our individual and collective awakening. Chantelle discusses how the program offers a pathway to navigate this time of immense global change, while also inviting us to discover “who we are” within our current modern-day context. Chantelle explores how our lineages (including experiences of colonization, immigration, and migration) affect our identities and how we must make loving contact with our unique lived experiences and narratives before we can move toward true liberation.
The Certificate Program in Embodied Wisdom offers a space to come into conversation with our personal stories and identities framed within the social and cultural contexts that affect us individually and collectively.
