Dharma College

Today, Dharma College was delighted to host part of the Berkeley Bay Area Book Festival.

One of the featured speakers was our own faculty member, Dr. Ron Purser, author of the influential book McMindfulness. Ron has recently released his newest book, Mind Space, which explores how we can cultivate greater clarity, presence, and freedom amidst the distractions of modern life.

Here are a few photos from a wonderful day of conversation, learning, and community.

If you are interested in exploring the themes of Mind Space more deeply, we invite you to join us for our upcoming Annual Retreat, where we will continue the inquiry into awareness, attention, and the possibilities of a more spacious mind.

I only teach this course twice a year at Dharma College—and summer is one of those rare opportunities.

If you’ve been curious to join me, there are still a few spots available.

One of the things I love most about this class is that we keep it intentionally small. It becomes less like a traditional course and more like a space for real conversation, reflection, and almost a coaching experience—where questions can be explored personally and practically.

Want to make work part of your spiritual path?
Together we’ll explore how to bring more joy, meaning, awareness, and balance into the place where many of us spend most of our lives.
Work doesn’t have to feel separate from what matters most. It can become a place of growth, practice, and transformation.
Join me for:
Working with Joy: Transforming Work into a Spiritual Path
-Live online this summer
-Recordings available
I’d love to have you join me.
