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.

Join Dharma Teachers Doug Duncan and Catherine Pawasarat for a weekend workshop in Calgary on the art of relationships and spiritual awakening.

How do we enrich our personal and professional relationships?

We will explore who we are alone, who we are with others, and how we can love and interact with authenticity, honesty and growth.

Workshop Details

We will explore relationships through the stages that shape them:

1. The start of relationships – why & how people meet and get together in the first place;
2. Being together – how habits can both help and hinder communication;
3. The endings or transformations – how we can channel the challenges of relationship to move forward into learning, be it together or apart.

Course Outcomes:

• Learn how to develop and hold a strong awareness of yourself even while in relationship.
• Gain tools to help you pay attention to the major patterns in our relationships.
• Learn how to replace unhelpful or destructive relationship habits with positive ones.
• Learn how to leverage the relationships in your life for the greatest growth for all involved

The Alchemy of Awareness, Wisdom & Compassion

Join Catherine Pawasarat and Doug Duncan Sensei in Calgary for a workshop on Authentic Leadership: The Alchemy of Wisdom & Compassion.

When you think of leadership, what comes into your mind? Being in command? Driving projects and people forward?

From Catherine & Doug Sensei’s perspectives, the best leadership is possible only when we are authentic and in real touch with ourselves.

Taking authentic leadership of your own life is an alchemy of awareness, inquiry and practice.  From this place of alignment and inspiration you can also lead and support those around you with far greater ease, wisdom and compassion.

In this workshop you will learn tools based in Buddhist and other mindfulness practices to positively influence your connection with self and the world around you.  We will discover how to cultivate self-awareness and powerful communication in order to lead and live authentically.

Transforming Distraction & Fear into Wisdom & Compassion

Join Doug Duncan Sensei in Calgary for weekend teachings on ‘going to the core’.  Learn how to inquire deeper, see into the heart of things and transform your reality.

Through the practice of going to the core, we have a powerful tool to experience greater luminous, calm, joyful awareness.

Classes will be held on Saturday & Sunday mornings, Oct 21 and 22nd, 2017. 10am-12pm (both days) in Inglewood Calgary.
