Subject: Update Invitation to Program

April 27 2017


Greetings 
Friend,
3 Doors Compassion Project Five Week Course

For the past nine months Marcy and I have presented a program we named The 3 Doors Compassion Project. Based on practices taught by our meditation teacher, Tenzin Wangyal, and incorporating teachings we have received from him, we constructed this program and presented it to healthcare professionals: educators, therapists, and caregivers, over a nine month period.

The program has been well received and the positive results as shared by the participants themselves and validated by the research conducted during the nine months are tangible.

Moving the needle past basic mindfulness meditation and stress reduction, the contemplative practices in The 3 Doors Compassion Project allow participants to touch more deeply and with tenderness and compassion their destructive habitual patterns and emotional reactions in order to transform and heal them.

We invite you to participate in this journey of personal reflection, transformation and healing. There remain several places open. You can follow the link at the bottom to learn more and to register.
What you will learn
  • Examine the obstacles to compassion, stress and burn-out, and the development of self-compassion.
  • Learn and engage in meditation practices of body, speech, and mind from the dzogchen tradition of Bon Buddhism as taught in The 3 Doors.
  • Restore resilience in working with one’s own pain, another’s pain, and institutional pain.
  • Discover how meditation cultivates love, compassion, joy, and equanimity in relation to self, family, and community.
  • Learn from the experiences of other practitioners in your local community.
