Workshops and Special Events
Community Work Day
Join the JP staff and other volunteers to tackle a number of projects, from totally unskilled to fairly skilled labor. We have carpentry work, sanding, staining, painting, cleaning, and other fun and miscellaneous things. We have some tools that will be required, but if you are skilled and have your own tools, please contact Joyful Path at 608-437-0520 so we can work out the details. These days always end up being very fun and productive. It's preferable if you call or email to let us know you are coming, but you're welcome to show up at our door in your work clothes! See you soon.

Quieting the Mind: A Day-Long Intensive with Domo Geshe Rinpoche
A calm mind is a prerequisite for high quality meditation practice and a necessity for clear thinking. A calm mind is an invaluable tool, and it is something that can be cultivated with specific practices. Participants will learn preliminary ideas about the nature of mind from a Buddhist perspective and learn and practice deliberate methods for calming the mind. Rinpoche will introduce ideas about how the mind exists and behaves and provide the tools needed to begin a successful practice. Lunch will be provided on-site. Please contact Joyful Path if you have special dietary requirements.
