I will be in the air, flying back from California, on September 1st, the first Thursday of the month. The first Thursday 45 minute meditation session is re-scheduled for Thursday, September 8th, 2022 at the usual time of 11 AM Eastern.

I'll send a fuller newsletter later this week, but for now, I'll be offering the half hour meditation session on September 15. I'll be in retreat the remaining Thursdays in September.

In the meantime, please consider the following:

My teacher, Tenzin Wangyal, Rinpoche, founder of the 3 Doors, and source of the practices I lead on Thursdays will be offering a weekend retreat, "Opening Your Heart to the World" on September,10th and 11th. This will be the first public 3 Doors retreat that Tenzin Rinpoche has offered since founding the 3 Doors organization. Marcy and I will be attending the retreat and supporting Tenzin Rinpoche by leading practice sessions, facilitating small breakout sessions along with other Senior Teachers and newly authorized Teachers. Please follow the link and consider joining us in retreat:

On Friday, September 16th, 3 Doors Senior Teacher, Alejandro Chaoul and I will be leading a one day retreat on Cancer and Caregivers: An introduction to the 3 Doors meditation methods to support healing and restfulness for persons touched by cancer.

During the twenty years I was presenting Mind-Body healing workshops at the Wellness Community, Philadelphia (later the Cancer Support Community,) Alejandro was presenting similar programs at MD Anderson Cancer Center, in Houston, Texas. Together, we have fashioned a one day program of 3 Doors meditations, questions and answers about the practices, and community sharing for those who have been diagnosed with cancer and those family members providing care. Six prerecorded guided meditations are available for download to every participant. For a complete description of the program and the research validating the support of the practices we will offer, please follow the link below. And please share the link with those you know who have been touched by cancer and could benefit from participating in this daylong program. Thank you!

Finally, the 3 Doors program created and presented by Marcy and me: "The Compassion Project 2022/2023" will begin in October. This comprehensive program expands the spacious, luminous, warmth of the meditations I guide on Thursdays to include the fullness of body, speech, and mind healing practices in a community setting. More to come in future newsletters, but for now, please visit the comprehensive overview of this nine month program of instructional classes, small group sessions for practice, discussion, questions and answers, and additional support materials here:
