Befriending the Void

By

November 24 & 25, 2018   10am-12pm

What lies at the core of your being? What if you dared to look all the way inside? Teachings on emptiness and the void are fundamental to the Buddhist understanding of reality. Like ‘Dzogchen’ and ‘Mahamudra’, some of the most profound practices are centred on the direct experience of the void. These practices are ultimately freeing on the deepest level but are often also terrifying to our limited selves. How can you begin to approach and understand the healing power of emptiness, even with challenges like distracted minds and anxious feelings? Join Master teacher and best-selling author Doug Duncan Sensei for these weekend teachings where you will learn how to befriend the void, finding healing and connection on the deepest level possible.
