As we grapple with the stress and anxiety of modern life, 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, 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. Everyone is warmly welcomed to the talk and retreat. Retreat attendance requires registration. When
