not to miss!

Together at the Wild Edge of Sorrow with Francis Weller and RamDev Dale Borglum | Saturday, June 13 at 10AM PT 🙏✨

Grief is not a problem to be solved. It is a sacred threshold, a place where loss and love meet and where, if we are willing to stay present, something essential in us can be restored.

Join Francis Weller and RamDev Dale Borglum for an intimate virtual gathering exploring grief as a doorway into deeper aliveness, connection, and meaning. Drawing from decades of work in psychology, contemplative practice, ritual, and spiritual care, Francis and RamDev will offer reflections on how grief can open us more fully to life itself.

Francis Weller, author of The Wild Edge of Sorrow, has become one of the most trusted and influential voices in grief work today. RamDev Dale Borglum, founder of the Living/Dying Project, has spent more than forty years offering compassionate spiritual support to people facing illness, death, caregiving, and loss.

Together, they bring rare depth, warmth, and wisdom to one of the most universal human experiences.

Whether you are carrying a personal loss, supporting someone you love, or simply feeling the weight of these times, you are welcome here.

Open to all. Registration required.

The First Turning of the Wheel
The Buddha’s first teaching after his awakening—offered in Deer Park—was the Four Noble Truths:

There is suffering

There is a cause of suffering

There is an end to suffering

There is a path leading out of suffering

These truths lay the foundation for all Buddhist schools. To understand them is to begin the journey of freedom.

Making Practice Personal
Inside, creativity becomes devotion. Some use colored pencils, shoelaces, or found objects to create altars, malas, or visual reminders of their practice.

These sacred adaptations remind us: practice doesn’t require perfection—it asks for presence.

How do you bring mindfulness into daily life?
