Meditation Beginner's Workshop with Lama Tsomo

Lama Tsomo, a Tibetan Buddhist lama and author of the newly released "Why Is the Dalai Lama Always Smiling? An Introduction and Guide to Tibetan Buddhist Practice," comes to the Club to introduce meditation in an accessible, non-religious way for people living and working in contemporary society. Originally trained at Antioch University as a counseling psychologist, Lama Tsomo studied more than 20 years under Gochen Tulku Sangak Rinpoche, World Holder of the Namchak Lineage of Tibet Buddhism, and was ordained in the Nyingma path in 2005.

Lama Tsomo will briefly introduce the benefits of meditation in her signature style, which is playful, rich in stories, and brings depth, and then focus on teaching a beginner-level compassion-practice meditation. She will also share ways to sustain a meditation practice over time and will discuss how practicing and studying with others in a learning circle can be tremendously beneficial for personal and spiritual development.
