Special Guest Speaker: Jeff Rubin
“Unconditional Healing”
Sunday, March 9th - 10 am online on Zoom
When a significant challenge to our life or lifestyle occurs, it's typically viewed as something to be resisted or denied. The more expansive view is that it presents a profound and auspicious opportunity, forcing us to confront questions of mortality and impermanence. Taking on adversity as our path, we can discover our genuine nature in the midst of our predicament.
Jeff Rubin is a senior teacher and meditation instructor in the Shambhala Buddhist and Kagyu Buddhist traditions, and has been directing meditation-based retreats for over forty years. Subsequent to developing a progressive neurological illness in 1999, he began the study and practice of teachings that view illness and adverse circumstances as steppingstones to spiritual growth, wholeness and well-being. Since 2006, Jeff has been directing programs and support groups on Unconditional Healing, a re-imagining of health that transforms one’s relationship to pain, illness and adversity.
