“If I’m confused, I just spend some time looking at the sky and falling into it. It’s not a meditation that anyone taught me, it’s something I’ve done my whole life, and liked doing, and it made me feel like nothing.” — Laurie Anderson
During a sixty-minute conversation with Tergar founder Cortland Dahl, iconic artist, musician, and long-time student of Mingyur Rinpoche Laurie Anderson shares personal insights and stories about her experience with meditation. The conversation aims to demystify the transformative aspects of meditation and celebrates the positive inner and outer results felt during practice.
WHY SHOULD I ATTEND?
My Meditation Story is a light-hearted discussion with a serious message that intends to empower, inspire curiosity, and help to develop self-confidence and joy through healthy habits.
WHAT WILL I LEARN?
With a rare and unforced approach, Laurie Anderson explains her path, from the first inspiration that led to meditation to the difficulties she experienced along the way, as well as practical advice that can be applied in our own practice.
WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THE PROGRAM?
- An interview with Laurie Anderson based on carefully curated questions
- An open Q&A for participants to ask questions in the last segment of the program
