Sunday Dharma Gathering: "Trauma and Dharma"

We warmly invite you to join us for a Sunday Dharma Gathering. All are welcome!

Dharma Gatherings are community events offering a space for both newcomers and experienced practitioners to connect and learn. These gatherings feature meditation instruction and practice, a short talk by guest teachers and open discussion followed by refreshments and socializing.

This Sunday’s topic is “Trauma and Dharma" with Enrique Redondo:
Are Painful Life Experiences Ultimately a Curse or a Blessing? When we go through the pain of traumatic experiences, we can often feel as though good fortune in life has abandoned us. But Buddhism suggests that pain can be a siren and opportunity for wakefulness to arise. This leads to the question: are painful life experiences ultimately a curse or a blessing? And can our darkest pain lead us to a deeper spiritual opportunity?

Registration is suggested but not required — just come by!
