Open to Life: Emerson College, 16-21 June 2025, part 1

Life comes as it comes. We do not know what events will arise and impact us. Struggling to stay in charge of what is occurring is exhausting while letting events determine our situation is unwise. The Buddhist Middle Way indicates that we can rest in open awareness while avoiding the extremes of over-involvement and under-involvement. We will focus on the Dzogchen teachings of relaxing and releasing our habitual patterns of reactivity so that our participation is both spontaneous and precise – contactful, yet neither invading nor abandoning.Dates: 16-21 June 2025Location: Emerson College, Hartfield Road, Forest Row, East Sussex RH18 5JXTalking: James LowOrganiser: Huw WynAudio Recording: Gareth WilliamsGareth initially prepared 3 taster sessions, 6/8/25Original teachings published at https://simplybeing.co.uk/audio-records/retreats/otherengland/emerson-college/open-to-life-emerson-college-16-21-june-2025/
