About this Event

Embark on a Transformational Journey with Claire Spencer
Claire Spencer, a dedicated practitioner of Tibetan Buddhism for over 25 years, has relied on the ancient wisdom of Lojong slogans to guide her through life’s most challenging moments—including her current journey with Stage 4 cancer. In this unique series, she shares the tools and techniques that have helped her maintain a positive, resilient and honest mindset. This is the first offering of its kind, presented by donation to make it accessible to everyone as we build a supportive community together.

Join us from your home to explore practical guidance founded in the ancient Lojong tradition, designed to settle the mind and open the heart. You don't need to be a Buddhist or have any previous meditation practice to attend this practical, hands-on series.
