When the Worldly Winds Blow
Resilience in Times of Stress, Fear, and Uncertainty
“To be happy, rest like a giant tree in the midst of them all.”
—The Buddha
Overview
Are you feeling blown about by the storms of modern life, the stress of uncertainty, the sting of criticism, the anxiety of not having or being enough? In this four-week course, you’ll work with the Buddha’s timeless teaching on the Eight Worldly Winds–gain and loss, pleasure and pain, praise and blame, status and disgrace–and develop the inner stability to meet each wind with clarity rather than reactivity.
Through guided meditation, contemplative dialogue, and reflective writing, you’ll cultivate a genuine resilience that doesn’t depend on circumstances going your way.
