This isn’t about sitting on a cushion and pretending you’re above it all. It’s about wrestling with your own distractions, addictions, and neuroses—right in the middle of your messy, beautiful, everyday life.From meditation and tonglen to the everyday chaos of work, sex, and money, Sam gets his hands dirty with the real challenges of being human—no spiritual bypassing required. He dives into the gritty details of breaking free from habitual patterns, finding flashes of clarity in the chaos, and discovering your own basic goodness—even when you feel like a total mess.You’ll get the inside scoop on Vajrayana teachings, the power of lineage, and the Shambhala path of warriorship, all delivered with Sam’s trademark irreverence and honesty. If you’re looking for a guide who’s been through the wringer and come out laughing—and who’ll urge you to live the teachings, not just read about them—this is your invitation to wake up, lighten up, and join the dance._______________IMPORTANT TICKETING AND EVENT INFORMATIONTickets are $5 (plus a small processing fee).A coupon good for $5 off a copy of Rude Awakenings, or a purchase on the day of the event is included with your ticket.
