What we’re about
A long-time practitioner of insight meditation (known as “vipassana” in the Buddhist tradition) and also a licensed psychologist, I have found that many ideas in Buddhism and the “Dharma” have considerable applicability to contemporary love relationships. Buddhist concepts such as attachment, the conditioned mind, impermanence, “anata” (emptiness; no self), discernment, and liberation constitute components of a vast ideology that offers a direct commentary on the many issues and dilemmas often responsible for suffering in adult romantic love.
This meetup.com group is devised to explore what may be taken from Buddhist ideology and applied to a consideration of how we get “stuck” in love relationships and how we may be freed.
This meetup.com group will consist of occasional group meetings as well as the distribution of articles, videos, and other materials whose focus is on romantic relationship problems and Buddhist ideas and principles. For more information or if you have questions, please contact me via phone (949-338-4388) or email (jt@jamestobinphd.com).
