As we grapple with the stress and anxiety of modern living in this post-pandemic era, this talk and the weekend retreat that follows will introduce Tibetan Buddhism's ancient meditative technologies for cultivating inner resilience and the collective wisdom and compassion we need to heal ourselves and our world.
Anam Thubten's teaching approach is fresh and highly relevant, introducing mindfulness and compassion-based meditation practices and chanting and visualization techniques passed down through the generations. Many of these approaches influence mainstream western psychological science and adapted methods that benefit many who would otherwise not be attracted to a spiritual path. Anam Thubten's recent book "Into The Haunted Ground. A Guide to Cutting Through the Root of Suffering" will inform his talk and retreat, which are both open to the public. Everyone is warmly welcomed. When
