Finding Freedom through Seeing How We Get Hooked

Join her for six online sessions of video teachings and two recorded Q&A video sessions with Glenna Olmsted, senior student of Tsoknyi Rinpoche and Pema Chödrön. This complete learning experience includes practice tips, reflection questions, and guided meditations for learning how to recognize the moment-by-moment choice points in our lives.

  • Ways to unravel patterns of self-denigration
  • How to cultivate acceptance of your irritability, insecurities, and other less noble human traits
