An Evening with Pema Chödrön and k.d. lang is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to join these two extraordinary women who are both uniquely gifted “instruments of the [Mahayana] dharma,” helping many to soften and open their hearts.
Moderated by Sounds True publisher and founder Tami Simon, this night of discovery and insight will support both The Pema Chödrön Foundation and Tools for Peace.
The evening will begin with a dialogue with Pema Chödrön, who will share her insights into life's “big questions” -- including how we can begin to face uncertainty and engage the unknown -- along with practical guidance in becoming more vulnerable, authentic, and present with ourselves and with each other.
