The Buddha’s message is one of facing and investigating the reality of our experience, and no part of our lived experience is more personal than the divine messengers: Old Age, Sickness, and Death. Seeing these divine messengers in our lives can help us live and act more skillfully for ourselves and those around us.

In this online, at-home retreat, learn how the Buddha instructed us to practice bravely confronting these truths that we try to avoid at all costs. With practical teachings and practices that one can implement in their busy modern lives which, when practiced, can bring much peace.

Registration fees do not include dana for the teacher. In the Buddhist tradition the teachings are offered freely and teachers are not paid for their offerings. They rely on dana contributions from students. Similarly, Southern Dharma keeps registration fees low to ensure the Dharma is accessible to all. Fees cover only a fraction of Southern Dharma’s operating expenses. We appreciate your practice of generosity to continue the dissemination of the Dharma!


Southern Dharma is now offering 50% scholarship awards for BIPOC and young adults in addition to those with financial need. Indicate your interest in a scholarship during the registration process. More information available here.
