Exploring The Five Wisdom Energies of Tantric Buddhism
with Ethan Nichtern
Saturday, March 7th, 2020 | 10:00am – 5:00pm
The Five Wisdoms offer one of the deepest and most spiritually useful bodies of teaching in the tantric Buddhist tradition.
By exploring different emotional patterns as they arise in meditation and in daily life, we begin to see the wisdom-potential that exists in every state of mind and every personality type.
Balancing the experiential with the theoretical, this daylong workshop will allow us to dip our toes into a framework of explorations (mandala) that, for many practitioners, becomes a lifelong journey.
