A Steady Heart in Turbulent Times
Bringing Emotions to the Path of Awakening
With Tergar Instructor Tim Olmsted

When the world seems threatening and chaotic, we’re called to respond with as much clarity and balance as we possibly can. For this, we need understanding and skill as we navigate our inner life and the world altogether.

While our emotions may delight and invigorate us, when examined, we find them to be fleeting and unreliable. On a subtle level, the emotions often obscure the abiding peaceful awareness that lies at the very heart of each of us. During this daylong retreat, we’ll discover how to use the energy and richness of our emotional life as the golden thread along the journey to awakening. We’ll learn to bring emotions to the path – as the basis for inner peace and equanimity, as a source of radiant compassion, and, finally, as brilliant wisdom.

This online program is open to anyone, experienced meditators and those who are just starting out.

Tim Olmsted has been a student of meditation for the past 50 years. For twelve of those years, Tim lived in Nepal and worked as a psychotherapist. There he studied with many of the greatest Buddhist teachers of our time, including Mingyur Rinpoche’s father, Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche. After returning from Nepal, Tim founded the Yongey Foundation to support Mingyur Rinpoche’s activities in Asia. Tim served as director of Gampo Abbey, a monastery in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. He is the founder and president of the Pema Chödrön Foundation.
