Bruce Pardoe ~ Using Dharma to Meet Anxiety and Stress
From climate change to divisive politics to wars to the increasingly fast pace and complexity of modern life, many people feel elevated levels of stress and anxiety. Yes there are the healthy benefits of our meditative practice, but what dharma teachings help us put these challenges in context and meet them with wisdom, compassion and balance? We will explore the 8 Fold Noble Path and the 4 Abodes of the Heart (the Brahmaviharas) as supports and guideposts for well-being with plenty of time for Q&A.
Bio: Bruce Pardoe is part of Mountain Stream’s Teacher Council. His personal healing journey with complex trauma led him to develop the radically gentle Heart Fluency method for engaging emotional wounds and afflictive patterns as portals to our essential well-being and happiness. Heart Fluency combines neuroscience and the unconditional nourishment of a healing awareness in an uplifting, heart-centered approach.
For more than 40 years Bruce has been navigating and facilitating the path of inner healing. After spending over two years on silent retreat he became a meditation teacher in the Vipassana tradition of Buddhism. He has completed Spirit Rock’s Meditation Center’s 2 year Community Dharma Leader training and has studied extensively in Asia in the traditions of Tibetan Buddhism and Advaita. Bruce has also trained in Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement and Hakomi’s body-centered psychotherapy.
