In person session takes place at Urban Dharma, 697-C Haywood Road. Masks are optional at this time. RSVPs are requested but not required.
We will be joined on Monday, October 17th by Deborah Eden Tull, presenting teachings inspired by her newest book, Luminous Darkness: An Engaged Buddhist Approach to Embracing the Unknown (For Personal and Collective Awakening) (Shambhala, 2022).
Darkness is not the absence of light, but a vital and restorative expression of nature and consciousness. Global uncertainty invites us to re-learn how to move through the dark gracefully. While we cannot rely on our familiar compass to navigate darkness, we can access the emergent map that comes from presence, deep listening, and relational intelligence; away from the world of concepts and ideas, and into the wisdom of our bodies.
As we enter the darker months of the year and continue to navigate uncertain times, discover how Buddhism and spiritual traditions across the world recognize “dark times” — periods which appear as the absence of light — as a profound invitation for growth. With nothing to hold onto while swimming through the mysterious tides of change, we are invited to open our hearts to fresh perception. Consider the need in our world for Endarkenment alongside Enlightenment.
Deborah Eden Tull, the founder of Mindful Living Revolution, is a Zen meditation and engaged dharma teacher, public speaker, author, and spiritual activist. She spent seven years as a Buddhist monk at a silent Zen monastery and offers retreats, workshops, and consultations internationally. Eden teaches Buddha dharma intertwined with post-patriarchal thought and practices, resting upon a lived knowledge of our unity with the more than human world.
