Just as we stock a medicine cabinet so it has what we need, we can build a personal Dharma toolkit to help us as circumstances change and problems arise.

As Buddha teaches us, problems in this existence are unavoidable. Out of his great wisdom and compassion, he provided us with the means to deal effectively with these problems and liberate ourselves from suffering.

In this one-day workshop, we'll discuss the problems you are encountering and the specific tools you can use to build your personal toolkit so that you have the resources you need to handle what arises in your life. The Dalai Lama's advice to develop a warm and loving heart, a peaceful mind, and a meaningful life will serve as our steady guideline.

Our goal is to provide down-to-earth, common-sensical ways to relieve suffering. In our workshop, we will use various techniques, including analytical and creative meditations, psycho-emotional imaginative explorations, and the sharing of our common wisdom. Please bring paper (letter-size) and pen. If you love artistic expression, bring colored pencils!
