01/20/2022 “Healing and Our Biographical Narratives” with Dennis Warren

Buddhist practice has a unique approach to problem solving and healing. The teachings, methods and underlying psychology dismantle the confusing, and sometimes overwhelming, emotional energy of difficult reactive patterns and our attachment to a biographical narrative that identifies us as damaged. This approach focuses on how we relate to the narrative, not the biographical details of the narrative.

This evening will explore two practical questions:

• What is the Buddhist approach to problem solving and healing?
• What role does our individual biographical narratives play in this process?

The subject matter of this evening is appropriate for all stages of practice.
