Practice Field

How Learners Experience the Practice Field

— The Practice Field is the best Sangha for anyone beginning to form their meditation practice. The benefits I have taken away show up in my work with clients and have a ripple effect on my interactions with others. Specifically, focusing on the 7 points of my posture allows me to bring a framework from mindfulness into the small moments of my day-to-day life. – member since 2019

— It’s opened me up to practicing in community, to being with others in a new and different way, and given me a consistent place for exploring and deepening my practice. – member since 2022

— The structure of the field allows for two kinds of learning for me. One that comes from repeating the view and parties each week. Allowing for seeing beyond a cursory interaction. The second comes from listening to others’ experiences and TZ’s periodic teaching. Both of these stretch my understanding. – member since 2022

— The PF has created and supported a weekly ritual for me. It has expanded my meditation practice and provides grounding in my week – like a cross-over point to complete the last week and design the upcoming week. – member since 2019

— I am so grateful for the members of the Practice Field Community. I look forward to practicing, connecting, and learning with them weekly and sharing experiences and discoveries in a supportive environment. – member since 2019

— The PF supports me in the practice of coming back and expanding my awareness. It provides me a place to practice the dharma and deepen our Buddhist psychology studies. – member since 2019

— I use the memory of the experience with my work with clients. The caring calmness, the expressed experiences of positive impact on the individuals in the weekly group are often in my awareness during the week while I’m coaching clients.  Taking a breath, what am I noticing? What is the client noticing? This invites a reset of points of view. – member since 2020
