The Light within the Dark: Turning towards Wholeness
New Years Retreat with Lama Amie Diller

In Tibetan Buddhism there is a deep appreciation for the messy, dark, even destructive sides of human experience. The wisdom of their myths and deities teach us that only through facing and embracing all of ourselves can we truly find our way back to wholeness, freedom and genuine well-being. Jung called this "working with our Shadow". In this New Year's retreat, even as the seasons turn from darkening to light, through meditation, journaling, and movement, we'll explore:

  • What is the Shadow?
  • How do we turn to meet it?
  • Why might it be important in the context of our spiritual path?
  • What is the "Golden Shadow"?

For the last 15 years Amie has been practicing & teaching internationally in the Tibetan Gelugpa Buddhist tradition. Being a certified nurse-midwife and mother have also brought great joy, along with fertile ground for practicing in the world with a wise and compassionate heart. She is the Spiritual Director at Diamond Light Tibetan Buddhist Center.
