Awareness in Action

Here's my latest blog hot off the press. I love to read your comments, so do take a moment to share your reactions.

Autumn seems to have come to the Netherlands very quickly this year. We usually try to take a few days in September to go away for a short break—often in the Netherlands, not too far afield. We’ve had trips with glorious weather, where we could easily sit outside to paint, or read.

Read the story in my latest blog of how I was confronted by my ageing body at the hairdressers and how easily that can make me slide into resentment—unless I see what I am doing and understand what is happening.

An everyday story of how vulnerable we can feel as we age when things turn out to be challenging—and how that can lead us to behave in ways we don't really mean.

Ageing is something we do all through our lives but it can bring up many different emotions, so we don't always want to think about it. This free course offers a gentle way to start thinking about it more deeply.

This is the page you need to sign up for the free online course, Different Approaches to Ageing.

Always a joy to give courses for Dzogchen Beara and this is one of my favourites! If you choose to continue to be visible and effective as you age this course is for you!

As we age and retirement looms it’s all too easy to feel that our world is shrinking. We may feel trapped and anxious and experience overwhelming feelings of loss. However, with self-awareness we can choose a different way—we can embark on a journey of becoming who we really are.

In this 6 week online course, you will have a chance to gather your knowledge and experience, and explore how we can use it to enrich our later years and be of service to others. By resolving our past and finding contentment in our present, we can learn to face each ageing milestone as an opportunity for deeper self-knowledge and spiritual understanding.

How will the course work?

-The course is open to anyone aged 55+.
-Sessions will include presentations, practice, discussion and sharing in small groups.
-We’ll explore some current research on the topic and also draw out the spiritual dimension of ageing referencing some classic Buddhist texts.
-The emphasis will be on creating a cozy environment where we can all explore our individual experience of ageing and how we are working with it.
