ABOUT THIS EVENT
Location: Online & in-person at Phuntsok Choling | With Dungse Jampal Namgyel & Elizabeth Mattis-Namgyel
Lojong is the Tibetan word for mind training. It is a tried and true process of bringing clarity to the way we understand and experience the interdependence between our mind and its world. As clarity increases through Lojong, our capacity to create harmony in our relationships grows, and our spiritual life helps us gracefully navigate the uncertainty of life.
For this program, Dungse Jampal Namgyel and Elizabeth Mattis Namgyel, will join forces to share their enthusiasm for the Lojong teachings, which will include teachings, guided meditations and lively conversation. This program will be held at Phuntsok Choling in Ward, CO, and online.
