How do these ancient perspectives illuminate our contemporary lives\, especially in times of change and uncertainty? This year’s New Year talk holds special significance as Catherine Sensei continues to take the banner of the teaching lineage she received from Qapel into the future. Her perspective—shaped by decades of practice and unwavering commitment to awakening—offers us all a chance to meet life’s transitions with wisdom and grace. Talks like these bring uncompromising\, applicable teachings you can apply to your life. They’re thought-provoking\, inspiring\, and designed to shake up and wake up your world. In a culture that tends to ‘dumb down’ the complexities of wisdom\, we promise not to. What to ExpectThis talk will include Catherine Sensei’s reflections on the year and the year ahead\, time for contemplation\, small group sharing\, and Q&A. Come with whatever questions or intentions are alive for you as we step into the new year. This talk is open to all experience levels—longtime practitioners and newcomers alike. Video recordings are available for those who cannot attend live. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Meet the TeacherCatherine Pawasarat Sensei Catherine Pawasarat Sensei is a contemporary Dharma teacher\, attendant\, consort\, co-teacher via Planet Dharma and co-founder of Clear Sky Retreat Center.
