WEEKLY NEWSLETTER WINTER SOLSTICE 2021 EDITION – WEEK OF 12/20/21


December 21, 2021

HELLO AND WELCOME TO THIS WEEK’S ONLINE NEWSLETTER!

WINTER SOLSTICE REFLECTION

The winter solstice is an opportunity for introspection and reflection as we move from the darkness of winter into the light. Some questions you might reflect on in your practice and/or journal about over the coming days:

What has been hard this year?
What have you learned?
What would you like to let go of? This could be a behaviour or thought pattern that no longer serves you.
What has brought you joy?
What will you take with you, deepen and strengthen in the coming months?
What and/or who is a light in your life and why?
How would you like to shine your light into the world in the coming months?

  • About Me

    Nick has devoted his life to practice and learning in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition for the last 30 years. As a teacher he is inspired to create learning environments in which everyone feels empowered in their own journey, what he refers to as a “learner centric” approach.
    He is synthesizing western and eastern psychology and spiritual practice,
    in what he refers to as a “cultural translation” of Buddhism into our modern context.
    With an emphasis on Nature as our teacher, and the idea that sangha or community, is about our mutual care and devotion to each others’ true natures and potential, hierarchy as an arbitrary force is diminished, and the power of open minded curiosity and learning is increased.
    Nick also is focusing on innovation and creativity as expressions of true dharma, as opposed to stubborn traditionalism, so that the living dharma is discovered right within each of our own stories , lives and daily situations.
