Fear is a useful tool for staying alive; recognizing danger we avoid harm and survive. Fear for fear’s sake, however, can be debilitating.
A connection with meditation practice, which shows us the true capacity of our mind and heart for insight, clarity and compassion can transform the way we perceive ourselves and our world around us. Buddhism offers a path toward fearlessness by confronting fear with inner strength and open-hearted courage, to help us step out of the clutches of fear and discover new meaning, inspiration, and joy in our lives.
Spend time with your best self on a journey from sadness and anger to peace and joy. The timeless wisdom and meditative insights of the Tibetan Buddhist tradition offer many practical methods to help us heal and thrive as we face the everyday challenges of anxiety, depression, anger, physical pain, loneliness, and burnout.
This series of Saturday afternoon sessions offer an introduction to meditation and practical advice from some of the foremost Tibetan Buddhist teachers of our age. Applying these teachings can help us meet the challenges of these difficult times, to heal ourselves, and to bring us to the core of our own peace, compassion and wisdom.
Led by Western meditation instructors with many years of experience, each session consists of:
- Video teachings from Tibetan and Western Buddhist masters including Sogyal Rinpoche, Jetsün Khandro Rinpoche, Ringu Tulku Rinpoche, Mingyur Rinpoche, Pema Chödrön and Sharon Salzberg.
- Meditation practice
- Time for contemplation
- Group discussions and Q&A, offering each student the opportunity to explore the teachings and practices in an open supportive environment and to connect with a community of practitioners.
