In-person: Going to the Edge – Exploring the Dharma of Grief in Times of Struggle with Lama Rod Owens

EVENT DESCRIPTION

This in-person evening event will be held at St. Luke’s Community Centre in London, on Tuesday March 29th from 6pm to 8:30pm.

We are living through a period of apocalypse, a chaotic period of truth telling and unveiling. Many of us are struggling to make sense of the impact we are experiencing in our personal lives, relationships, and in our communities.

To move through this period, we must rely on our capacity to grieve, to touch into the sadness of change and loss and tend to it with compassion. In this compassion we can allow our hearts to break and in the breaking be held by the understanding that we are not alone in this grieving. Once we allow ourselves to be in relationship with our grief, then it can begin to teach us how to move through sorrow and hopelessness into clarity and connectedness. Yet most importantly, our relationship to grief through compassion opens up the space for joy and gratitude.

In this talk, Lama Rod will explore this liberating relationship with grief through guided practice and discussion.
