Judith Simmer-Brown, Ph.D., is Distinguished Professor of Contemplative and Religious Studies at Naropa University, and an Acharya (senior dharma teacher) in the Shambhala lineage of Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche since 2000. She is author of Dakini’s Warm Breath: The Feminine Principle in Tibetan Buddhism and Meditation in the Classroom. She is also frequently requested, nationally and internationally, as a speaker, consultant and Dharma retreat leader.
We are most fortunate to have Judith with us for this Daylong. It follows her public talk at CC the day before, Friday May 30th, 4:30-6 pm:
“Dakini Wisdom: The Five Enlightened Consorts”
Cornerstone Arts Center
(Part of the CC IDEA Space Exhibition on
“Mandalas of Enlightenment”)
SCHEDULE for Saturday, May 31
11am-12 noon: Take up in discussion the Dharma implications from her Friday evening talk on Dakini Wisdom
12-1 pm: Casual lunch and conversation. Vegetarian meal provided.
1-4 pm: Acharya Brown will lead a workshop on “Dharma and religious difference” with a focus on Inter-sangha dialog practice. (This topic comes beautifully as a follow up to our local May 10th Buddha Day celebration.)
