A walk across Canada to raise consciousness about violence (interpersonal and systemic) and to encourage faith groups to come together to discuss how spirituality and religion can be positive forces for peace.
The teachings with H.H. Phakchok Rinpoche have been rescheduled for September 5-7, 2008 in Vancouver. He will be doing two public talks, and continuing teaching on the Dzogchen Blue Vajrayogini. Please pass this information on to friends who may be interested in attending.
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.
Clown: Presence in Action — Ilya Parizhsky, September 4th 2008.
The clown has no boundaries dividing feeling and expression of feeling. The clown is fully present, fully tuned into experience as it arises, and fully expressive of all that is with no defences against the observer. To train in clown is to train in the art of allowing for and expanding on impulses as they arrive from that mysterious somewhere and make themselves felt. Following our group sitting practice we will engage in a series of games and exercises that will bring us to an edge of authentic self-expression while being witnessed by an audience of participants.
