Garrison Institute

What might change when we stop pushing away the parts of experience we would rather avoid?

Join Charlotte Rotterdam and Pieter Oosthuizen, authors of Skymind: The Radical Path of Open Awareness, in conversation with Garrison Institute’s Steve Varley for a virtual evening of discussion and brief practice. Drawing from the teachings of Machig Labdron and the Mahamudra lineage, they’ll explore how open awareness can help us meet life with clarity, compassion, and a steadier heart.

Drawing on the teachings of 11th-century Tibetan yogini Machig Labdrön and the Mahamudra lineage of Tibetan Buddhism, this conversation explores how open awareness can help us meet the intensity of modern life with greater spaciousness, compassion, and presence. The evening will include teaching, discussion, and a brief practice inspired by Charlotte and Pieter’s new book, Skymind: The Radical Path of Open Awareness.
