Bruce Pardoe - Cloud Illusions
Joni Mitchell wrote the seminal song "Both Sides Now" when she was only 23. It offers a frank, nuanced look at the stories we plaster on top of the vibrant mystery of life with a wisdom and maturity far beyond her years. We will explore her song from the perspective of dharma, focusing on the teachings of sunyata (aka emptiness) and the eight worldly winds and how an understanding of these truths can bring freedom, relaxation and happiness into our lives.
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.
