Why Don't You Create a Religion?

Will there be another Ending Suffering workshop?

I found the experience I had in the Ending Suffering Workshop very eye-opening and different. It offered a fresh way of observing what we call “thoughts,” and I found myself seeing how surprisingly not-real they are. Instead of treating them like precious collector's items, I began experiencing them as a passing activity — more like a habit than a truth. Ironically, the sum total of these habits is what becomes our personality, as well as our daily life and story. Even though I’m still early in The Book of Not Knowing and Ending Unnecessary Suffering, the workshop gave me an experiential foundation that clarified ideas I’d only encountered intellectually, and it even answered questions I hadn’t yet formed. I also want to acknowledge how accessible the workshop was. At a time when finances are severely tight for me, the fact that I could attend without stretching myself thin says a lot about the intention behind it. It was also because I was at this juncture in my life that I needed to question "what the heck brought me here," and this was a safe space to do so. It’s rare to find something this valuable offered at a price point that genuinely supports people. Thank you to @Brendan Lea and any other team members for creating such a thoughtful, honest space for exploration.

During the exercice of "Cutting the thoughts" I realized that I dont't actually need to think to speak. I had the unconscious belief that if I don't think / elaborate and train my thoughts and my intellect, I would somehow loose my ability to speak and be smart. During this exercice, I experienced that it wasn't connected and that I can have a totally coherent talk while cutting my thoughts off. Thank you Viktor for the insight. Great exercice 👌

Hello everyone, I'm Nouha (new here) I got a question about 'Community Session' meetings I watched some previous recordings to get an idea. and noticed that you usually have a theme or a specific area to work on in each session. my question is, as a new member I want to know how it goes. are the sessions based on the workshops being held or not always ? Thanks ♡
