Knowledge of Freedom: New Beginnings

Knowledge of Freedom: New Beginnings

Friday evening March 18^th – Sunday, March 20^th, 2011

Place: to be announced

with Arnaud Maitland

In letting go of our belief that suffering is a necessary part of human life, we can take a few steps forward.

As human beings we can choose our way of being in the world. We have consciousness; we are capable of responding creatively to our surroundings. How would you like to live, work and be with others? To begin to know something new, we first must realize that there is something we do not know. Learning to ask the right questions will strike an inner chord that attunes our mind and senses to a wider scope of possibilities. We can make the resolve to change and start fresh, without being burdened by past regrets and missed opportunities. By exploring Time and Mind, we will find the openings to make changes, to embark on new attitudes and wiser approaches to living well. When we start over with a new orientation, we discover different worlds in which we may feel quite at home and inspired. We are always on the threshold of a new life and each new beginning is a special opportunity!

In this weekend seminar we will explore the stages, cycles and rhythms of our lives, to discover the openings for new beginnings while also learning to ask the right questions to discover for ourselves our true possibilities.

For this weekend please prepare by studying in advance the chapters 9, 2 and 3 of the newly translated book by Tarthang Tulku: Knowledge of Freedom – Time to Change (Urano).

Friday 20.00 – 2130 hrs
