Touching the Earth: A fierce feminine Buddhism?
This session will weave myths and stories of women and the feminine into the story of the Buddha's awakening, and debunk the hyper-masculine trope of awakening as a solo, heroic process. It will explore some of the ways that people living in today's world — of every gender — can benefit from bringing the essential feminine and masculine back into balance.
In This Session:
- Learn about less-known stories of the women surrounding the Buddha
- Discover the importance of feminine qualities such as embodiment, intuition, nourishment, and connection in walking the spiritual path
- Explore how to apply these in meditation practice, work, relationships and everyday life
