ENGAGED BUDDHISM
MAKING THE EVERYDAY SACRED
AS PART OF THE YEAR TO WAKE
an online monthlong course
December 3 – 31, 2026
Practice doesn’t end when you leave the cushion—it’s how you show up in every moment of your life. In this closing month of the Year to Wake Up, we’ll bring the teachings home through reflection, peer learning, journaling, and intention-setting.
Together we’ll explore how to infuse mindfulness, compassion, and wisdom into your relationships, work, and acts of service—transforming ordinary life into a living expression of the path.
This is a month of integration and celebration: a chance to honor how far you’ve come, and to step forward grounded in meaning, purpose, and joy.
Make your daily life the ultimate place of awakening.
Curriculum
Every Thursday a 20-30 minute class goes live on our community website, inviting you to participate at your own pace.
Every Monday you can attend a live guided meditation bringing our learnings onto the cushion and, thus, into everyday life.
REGISTRATION:
We close the year with reflection, peer-learning, journaling, intention-setting and celebration—bringing everything home to your relationships, work, social action, and daily life.
What you’ll walk away with: new modalities to integrate into daily life and support you in the year ahead

LODRO RINZLER is a Buddhist meditation teacher, the award-winning author of 7 books, including the bestseller The Buddha Walks Into A Bar… and the co-founder of MNDFL Meditation studios in NYC. He lives upstate with his wife, daughter and four furry beings.
“For the four years I've been studying with Lodro, he always pushes me towards more compassion and sensitivity for myself and others. In his teaching, Lodro consistently provides the perfect mix of traditional wisdom and contemporary experience, showing that what we think are our oh-so-modern problems are really pretty much the same as the ones humans have always been encountering.”
