Transforming Difficult Times into Inner Strength

When we experience stress and tension in our lives, it’s easy to feel emotionally overwhelmed or powerless; but it doesn’t have to be that way! All of us have inner reservoirs of peace, wisdom, and sanity waiting to be discovered. In particular, we can learn to roll with life’s punches and make peace with adversity, essential skills in a world where we cannot always control what happens, whether that’s with personal struggles or the uncertain times we live in. Our real power lies in how we respond and show up for others.

Join us for our March Special Event with guest teacher Kadam Morten Clausen. With a few simple time-honored and wise Buddhist teachings, you’ll discover how to stop sweating the small stuff—or the big stuff—and embrace life with more openness, flexibility, and lightness of touch.
