Ad Copy

There is something most of us do—automatically and many times a day. We encounter an uncomfortable feeling: a wave of fear or sadness we don't know what to do with. And before we've fully registered it, we pull away. We get busy, distract ourselves, or just blame ourselves for being overly emotional. Pema Chödrön has spent her life exploring this pattern—and what becomes possible when we learn to meet it differently. In the Buddhist contemplative tradition, she teaches that our fundamental nature is one of openness: wide awake and capable of immense love. The suffering we experience does not come from feeling vulnerable, but from our relentless effort to push that feeling away. What would it mean to stop—and turn toward? Today, we are honored to share LIVING WITH VULNERABILITY, Pema Chödrön's complete online, on-demand training program, now available at a special sale price. Through a complete series of teachings and practices, this course guides you, step by step, to: • Embrace difficult emotions rather than resist them • Develop "discomfort resilience," the capacity to remain present when life is hard • Soften the inner self-criticism that turns ordinary struggle into full-blown suffering • Befriend your own experiences with unconditional warmth and openness • Discover the full aliveness that becomes available when you stop running While we cannot avoid or eliminate our struggles and intense emotions, Pema teaches, we can learn to experience them not as suffering but as the very source of life's fullness and depth. This course is available at $137 through June 18th—a significant savings from the regular price of $397. A 3-payment option of $47/month is also available. Your enrollment includes the complete video learning curriculum, guided meditations on audio, and journaling exercises. >> Click below to learn more and enroll
