A Steady Heart in Turbulent Times

A Steady Heart in Turbulent Times

Bringing Emotions to the Path of Awakening

With Tergar Instructor Tim Olmsted

This online program is open to anyone -  experienced meditators and those who are just starting out.  Participants may choose to watch the zoom at home or in community at Kagyu Sukha Choling 109 Clear Creek Dr. Ashland.

When the world seems threatening and chaotic we’re called to respond with as much clarity and balance as we possibly can. For this we need understanding and skill as we navigate our inner life and the world altogether.

While our emotions may delight and invigorate us when examined we find them to be fleeting and unreliable. On a subtle level the emotions often obscure the abiding peaceful awareness that lies at the very heart of each of us. During this daylong retreat we’ll discover how to use the energy and richness of our emotional life as the golden thread along the journey to awakening. We’ll learn to bring emotions to the path – as the basis for inner peace and equanimity as a source of radiant compassion and finally as brilliant wisdom.

Tim Olmsted has been a student of meditation for the past 50 years. For twelve of those years Tim lived in Nepal and worked as a psychotherapist. There he studied with many of the greatest Buddhist teachers of our time including Mingyur Rinpoche’s father Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche. After returning from Nepal Tim founded the Yongey Foundation to support Mingyur Rinpoche’s activities in Asia. Tim served as director of Gampo Abbey a monastery in Cape Breton Nova Scotia. He is the founder and president of the Pema Chödrön Foundation.
