Smile at Fear - Awakening the True Heart of Bravery
This DVD series is from a retreat led by Ani Pema Chödrön at Omega Institute, based on the book by Chögyam Trungpa and edited by Carolyn Gimian (Shambhala Publications 2009.)
Meditation instruction and group practice are included in our meetings.
“The teachings presented in this book are transformational—and especially relevant today, when so many of us are facing uncertainty and anxiety. Chögyam Trungpa shows us how to uncover our innate strength, confidence, and joy under any circumstances.” Pema Chödrön
