Unconditional Confidence

Acharya Emily Bower
Saturday and Sunday 9th & 10th March 2019 8.30 am – 5.30 pm
Prerequisite: Shambhala Training Level Five and at least two Everyday Life courses
The Rigden is a representation of our basic enlightened nature and embodies the principle of unconditional bravery, gentleness and confidence. The weekend explores principles and practices connected with manifesting primordial confidence through the direct experience of basic goodness. Students will have the opportunity to take the Shambhala Vow (a personal aspiration to realise and manifest the Shambhala principle of basic goodness throughout one’s entire life) on Sunday afternoon. Those who take the Shambhala Vow will meet personally with the Acharya and will receive a Shambhala Name as part of the vow ceremony

Her areas of particular interest are end-of-life care, relating with grief and loss and raising awareness around aging. She has a strong interest in the New Zealand and Australian centres and has become a valued and much loved friend
