The Old Dragons Investigate
Embodying the Eightfold Path

The Eightfold Path is a foundational Buddhist teaching offering precise, sweeping possibilities for embodying ethics, awareness, and radical acceptance in daily life and spiritual seeking. You are invited to join the Old Dragons Club, a nonsectarian women’s group in the Buddhist traditions, as we embark on a co-created nine-month series of meditation, Dharma teaching, conversation, study, and potluck community dinners. Each month, participants will engage with the Path as it is showing up in their own lives. We will choose, share, and produce study materials (books, talks, essays, texts) to support our inquiry.
 
Facilitator: Julie Püttgen, founder of the Old Dragons Club, is an artist, educator, expressive arts therapist, and former Buddhist nun who teaches widely at the intersections of creative and contemplative practice. Her work is online at www.108namesofnow.com.

Dates/Times/Locations: One Sunday per month. For dates and locations (or Zoom link), please contact Julie using the form below.

Cost: In lieu of donations to the facilitator, participants are invited to support the Path-supporting non-profit(s) of their choice.

RSVP/Questions: To register, or for more information, please contact Julie using the form below.

    Dear Dragons,
    ​

With Best Wishes
The old dragon has some wisdom, doesn't she?
