Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche: Emotional Rescue
Oct 5
Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche: Emotional Rescue

Friday 5 October (evening) and Saturday 6 October (full day).

Emotions bring colour and meaning to our lives, but they can also put us on an exhausting rollercoaster ride that takes us to blissful peak states, the depths of delusion and despair, and everything in between.

Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche will teach on the 3-step Emotional Rescue Plan for working with disturbing emotions, from his new book 'Emotional Rescue: How to Work with Your Emotions to Transform Hurt and Confusion into Wisdom that Empowers You'.
