This month, we will explore how, in the space between hope and hopelessness, there lies a third way: resilient action.
As crises unfold around us, many of us oscillate between the poles of despair and forced optimism. This session invites a deeper inquiry: what becomes possible when we access the steady presence of Self and act from that place?
Together, we’ll practice:
Unblending from protective parts and distinguishing Self from Self-like parts
Accessing Self qualities such as calm, curiosity, compassion, and courage
Exploring how to show up with integrity and creativity in response to world events
A monthly program hosted by the Centre for Climate Psychology

While there are many expressions of Parts Work, this approach is specifically tailored to relate to existential planetary crises such as climate breakdown, war and genocide, political upheaval and polarization, injustice and more.
Learn how Parts Work can help you reduce burnout, improve your ability to collaborate and communicate well with others, balance self-care and community-care, increase your access to capacities like compassion, wisdom, and confidence to respond skillfully and effectively in these ever-changing and challenging times
Sunday, October 26th
9am-11am Pacific
In this session of the Engaged Nonduality series we will be joined by Lama Palden, Buddhist teacher, spiritual counselor, and author of Love on Every Breath: An Eight Step Extraordinary Tonglen Meditation for Transforming Pain into Joy.
We’ll explore the interwoven themes of transforming our internal response to the enormous suffering of the world and allowing a wise response from a place of deep inner peace.
As we witness or experience injustice, war, starvation, and the erosion of democracy, due process and human rights, the suffering can be overwhelming. We can lose our bearings, burn out, or turn away. The ability to access deep inner wellbeing, to transform suffering into awakened compassion, is both necessary and possible.
Lama Palden is a wise guide who can offer us a pathway to transforming suffering in this way through the ancient Tibetan practice of Tonglen (“taking and sending”), which she calls Love on Every Breath. At its heart this practice is rooted in nondual wisdom, which also gives rise to skillful responses rooted in our natural compassion, clarity and wisdom.
Past Events
Engaged Nonduality Event with John Prendergast & Lisa Ferguson
How do we respond to the historically-unique existential crises that we now face in a truly creative way, without succumbing to the burnout that political activists so frequently experience? John will explore how we may re-source ourself in the ultimate source – the heart and ground of being. As we consciously discover the Great Heart behind the human heart and the Groundless Ground beneath our self-constructed ground, we experience a sense of well-being independent of outer circumstances.
