“We can be grateful for our emotions, for our frustrations and sorrows; they help us to wake  up. We have no clearer messages about what is happening in our lives.” 
–Tarthang Tulku, Openness Mind, p. 51 

Emotions can be binding and painful, but they can also be great teachers. Erika Rosenberg,  Ph.D., emotions researcher and Nyingma instructor, will discuss how we can work with  relaxation, mindfulness, and an open heart to appreciate the transient nature of emotions,  be freed from the tendency to cling to both pleasant and unpleasant experiences, and  learn to understand ourselves in relation to the world we inhabit.

Nyingma Institute, March 15, 2026, 6-7pm Pacific time (in person and online)
