Class Series
Spirit Rock offers weekly and monthly online class series to integrate practice and study into the flow of your life. Series can be a beautiful way to connect with others in the Spirit Rock community, building saṅgha as you study and practice together.
Classes address a wide range of topics, from the study of Buddhist texts to applications of the Dharma to social action, psychology, and professional development. Many series offer Continuing Education Credits. Series are an accessible way to deepen your understanding of the Buddha’s teachings, prepare you for the immersive experience of a Retreat or Dharma Training Program, or help to sustain the momentum of practice between retreats.

The Art of Self-Compassion with Chronic Pain
8 CE Credits. Loving a hurting body is not easy. When things are rough, kindness and compassion can soften that experience. For many of us, however, being compassionate to ourselves is challenging, especially when we struggle with chronic pain. Throughout this series you will learn how to use the tools of self-compassion to help your brain and nervous system counterbalance their autopilot modes around pain. Together, we’ll explore the latest research on pain and self-compassion and combine it with ancient wisdom and compassion teachings.
