Finding Hidden Treasure: Trauma, Troubling Emotion, And The Road From Agony To Enlightenment—Michael Gordon, August 7th 2008.

Psychotherapist, writer and lecturer Michael Gordon discusses the interrelationship between trauma, stress and habitual emotional triggers and behaviour. Most importantly, Michael’s talk will focus on pratical ways we can work directly with our emotions in our daily lives on the path towards spiritual liberation. This talk endeavours to be lively and interactive, and will draw on common ground between psychotherapy and mindfulness awareness practice.

Shifting Metaphors: Activism as a Path to Awakening

By Julian Gonzalez, on 08-05-2008 12:37

Rating 3.9/5 (7 votes)

I just came across this workshop that sounds really interesting -->

Description:
The Buddha was about finding solutions to the problems of human suffering.

Compassionate social action requires us to step onto a path of activism where the focus shifts from committing to a cause, to committing to the well being of all people. To experience such shift of focus, participants will engage in meditation practice, receive teachings, and explore a model for cultural healing.
