Description:
We’re living through what I call “the death of normal” —a time when everything we thought we knew is falling apart, and we’re being called to something we can’t yet see. Embark on a breakthrough journey with Venerable Chang Ji in this two-day seminar! Through dynamic teachings, reflective group dialogue, and work practice, we will explore the poly-crisis of our time —socioeconomic, geopolitical, financial, relational, and self-identity —and engage in the hero’s journey as a path of empowerment and transformation, discovering that your power only happens when you’re most powerless. The seminar will also include a guided hiking meditation at Coyote Hills Regional Park, offering an opportunity to deepen environmental awareness and inner reflection.
