OCTOBER WORKSHOP
Saturday October 18 10:00-1:00pm
Illness as a Spiritual Practice PART 2
with David Hoffner
Illness often arrives uninvited, disrupting our lives and plans. Yet within its difficulty lies a profound opportunity for awakening. This course invites participants to explore illness—not as a detour from the spiritual path, but as part of the path itself.
Through teachings, guided reflections, and shared inquiry, we’ll examine how physical and mental suffering can open the heart, deepen compassion, and reveal the impermanence and interconnection at the core of spiritual life. We’ll engage illness as a teacher—one that strips away illusion, humbles the ego, and brings us closer to truth.
Whether you’re navigating illness personally, supporting others in their healing, or simply wish to prepare your heart for what life inevitably brings, this course offer a space for transformation and meaning.
