Invited Teacher: Devon and Nico Hase 
This Messy, Gorgeous Love: Buddhist Wisdom for Real Relationships

 

Join Buddhist teachers Devon and Nico for an intimate evening exploring how ancient wisdom meets modern love. Drawing from their new book This Messy, Gorgeous Love: A Buddhist Guide to Lasting Partnership, they'll share practical insights on bringing mindfulness and compassion into the beautiful complexity of intimate relationships.

Through personal stories and guided meditation, discover how Buddhist principles like dukkha and impermanence apply to partnership. Learn why conflict can become a doorway to intimacy,
what real patience looks like, and how embracing love's mess reality can lead to greater joy and connection.

Whether single, partnered, or somewhere in between, this evening offers wisdom for loving more skillfully in all relationships. Come ready to laugh, reflect, and see your connections through fresh eyes.

 

Devon Hase is empowered to teach in the Insight and Vajrayana traditions of western Buddhism. Since discovering meditation in 2000, she has put dharma and community at the center of her life: she spent a decade bringing mindfulness to high school and college classrooms before entering several years of silent, solitary retreat in the mountains of Oregon. She now teaches at the Insight Meditation Society, Spirit Rock Meditation Center, and the Forest Refuge, among others. She enjoys supporting practitioners in long and short retreats, and also with personal mentoring, emphasizing relational practice and the natural world. Along with her life partner Nico, Devon co-authored 'How Not to Be a Hot Mess: A Buddhist Survival Guide for Modern Life'. When she’s not traveling and teaching in their van, she’s most likely in wilderness retreat. For more, visit devonandnicohase.com.
