Making Friends with Yourself workshop

Recorded talks by Buddhist Teacher, Pema Chödrön, who presents a traditional way of under-standing human nature. Chödrön will introduce the 5 Skandas, the collections or streams that make up our sense of self as human beings. We will explore practical ways to interrupt the Skandas’ process of maintaining habitual patterns. This, releases us to take a fresh perspective and make a fresh start rather than repeating patterns that keep us stuck in unskillful ways of thinking and acting. By compassionately starting fresh, we befriend ourselves, which is essential to free ourselves from suffering and wish to work to alleviate the suffering of others.
