Opening Our Heart When Things Fall Apart

Susan Chapman leads a one-day in-person retreat as a foundation for study in the Pema Chodron Contemplative Community. Pema has often expressed her wish that people not only read her books but also meditate. This retreat is an opportunity to establish a foundation of meditation prior to a 5-week online course, led by Susan, devoted to Pema’s “Wie wir leben, ist wie wir sterben”.

Susan has been plumbing the wisdom of birth and death all her life, but especially since encountering her own life-threatening illness a few years ago.

Join Pema and Susan in exploring this rich and challenging subject of endings and beginnings.

The One-Day Retreat:
Sonntag, Februar 18, Susan will lead this meditation retreat at the Vancouver Shambhala Centre in recognition of Pema’s desire that we not simply read her books, but also practice sitting.

This retreat is offered as a foundation for the following course:
