A Personal Letter from Pema Chödrön
Dear friends, We are, by our very nature, vulnerable beings. We resist that which makes us uncomfortable, and when faced with feelings of vulnerability—whether from loss, fear, or self-criticism—we automatically put up barriers. But we cannot ever truly avoid feeling vulnerable—it’s part of the human experience. By getting comfortable with feeling uncomfortable, however, we can work toward taming the one thing that causes the most suffering—the mind. In the Buddhist Contemplative Tradition, we are taught that our fundamental state of being is one where we are wide open, awake, and possessing an immense capacity for love.“You can only go into the unknown when you have made friends with yourself.” —Pema Chödrön

What if you could learn to embrace the full spectrum of your experience with unconditional warmth, openness, and kindness?
-
What if you no longer "hated" being vulnerable and, instead of overwhelming you, your emotions became your teachers?
-
What if you chose gentle acceptance of yourself and others over harsh judgment?
And that as you begin to unravel your habitual patterns—fear of vulnerability, aversion to discomfort, nagging self-criticism—you will open yourself up and experience your true nature filled with limitless potential.

QiGong for Health and Healing:
Unleash the Power of Your Life-Force Energy with QiGong Instructor Lee Holden
What do you want to grow in your daily life? Are you looking for more calmness and grounding? More energy and better immune system health? Habits that nourish rather than drag you down? Fewer interruptions in your mood, motivation, and physical wellness? One of the greatest realizations of Lee Holden's life was that all of this is available to us no matter our age, body type, or level of physical fitness. Through qi gong, the ancient Chinese practice of tapping into and moving our bodies' innermost energies, you can cultivate true fulfillment, tranquility, and joy. There's a simple reason why Eastern practices, such as tai chi and qi gong, have exploded in popularity in the West: they work. Lee has devoted himself to qi gong for more than 25 years because I know that this dynamic practice improves physical fitness, promotes calm and equanimity, and puts us back in the driver's seat of our own health."Healing is not as difficult as you might think. It requires nothing more than what you would give any friend: attention, understanding, compassion, and love." — QiGong Instructor Lee Holden

Embracing the Unknown with Pema Chödrön
A Four-Part Course on Letting Go and How to Embrace Change
It's more than likely that you've heard of The Tibetan Book of the Dead. But what can this famous religious text tell you about living? Even though it is an intrinsic and unavoidable part of life, our culture as a whole doesn't like to talk about death. For many of us, the concept is not only frightening, but nearly taboo—a grim shadow overhanging everything, silent and dreadful.
But it doesn't have to be that way. In fact, it shouldn't... -

Finding Your Life Purpose, Your True Calling, an Online Course with Stephen CopeTo know your true calling—your reason for being here—is perhaps the greatest desire within each of us. But how many of us can really say we know our life purpose with certainty?
Most of us feel at least some level of confusion, anxiety, and even fear around the subject. We’re told to “follow your bliss” or “make a difference,” but we’re never really taught how.
What if there were a time-tested guide for discovering and fulfilling your true calling and awakening to your life purpose?
As it turns out, such a map exists. The Bhagavad Gita—a classic text of yoga wisdom that has inspired generations to live more meaningful lives—offers us an essential guide for finding your life purpose, your true north.
In Your True Calling, you’ll learn how to use this powerful map to discover and align with your unique life purpose.
Taught by Stephen Cope, MSW, a Kripalu ambassador, scholar-in-residence, and founder and former director of the Kripalu Institute for Extraordinary Living, the largest yoga research institute in the Western world. -
