#117 Creating a Beautiful Life in Hard Times

This is an excerpt from a dharma talk I gave during an online retreat called “Creating a Beautiful Life in Hard Times”(hosted by Shambhala Mountain Center in August 2021. In it, I share a few perspectives we can all try on to help us orient to our lives– when they’re feeling unpredictable, or even if the things we’re experiencing are unwanted.

May this be of benefit!
