Welcoming Beginner’s Mind: Experiencing our True Nature with Gaylon Ferguso

Please join us for Welcoming Beginner’s Mind: Experiencing our True Nature
with Gaylon Ferguson on Sunday May 4th 1-3PM in person at Berkeley Shambhala Center or on zoom.

Welcoming, the simple and challenging possibility of opening to exactly what’s occurring in our experience, is at the heart of author Gaylon Ferguson’s presentation of this journey. Join us for an experiential investigation – on the cushion, off the cushion, with dialogues, talks and conversations based on noticing and inquiring.
