November Teachings: The Journey to Self Discovery

Friday’s topic: Patterns and communication

Our shadow shows up in many ways - how and when we communicate is one of them. How do your unconscious patterns create suffering for yourself and those around you, and how are they impacting your communication?

Saturday’s topic: Unconscious aspects of the psyche and how they get us in trouble

Our blind spots, what is in shadow, is where we get ourselves in trouble! However, we can learn to bring these shadow aspects into the light. Doug Sensei is a master at shadow work - ask any of his students! - and this is your last chance to meet him in Calgary in 2019.

It’s by questioning our views that we set ourselves on the path to spiritual awakening, a.k.a ‘the great healing’. The results? We learn to dwell more and more in spaciousness, clarity, and bliss.

In these two evening lectures, meditation and shadow master Doug Duncan will offer practical teachings, advice, and tools to bring us to greater questioning and richer states of mind.
