About this event

Discover how it is possible to cultivate hope and healing, despite our chaotic, challenging times. Buddha's practical wisdom helps us understand the origin of hopelessness and pain, and transform it into an endless source of healing, hope, and constructive solutions.

Wisdom is the key to hope and healing. Although we live in chaotic and troubling times, wisdom naturally fills our life with much-needed inspiration, purpose, and constructive solutions. Wisdom also heals our own pain and hardship so that we can become a source of healing and refuge for others.

Join us for a special talk and guided meditation on wisdom, hope and healing at the beautiful historic Cheney Mansion with Buddhist monk and meditation teacher Gen Kelsang Zamling. No previous experience is necessary, and absolutely everyone is welcome!
