Fear lives in the butterfly garden

a Dharma talk by Dr. Larry Ward

We are in an environment of change that is not simply a rearranging of the pieces but a metamorphosis. In this talk, Dr. Ward will explore how many of our archtypes are in conflict with this transformation, whether it is the revolutionary, the pioneer, the liberator, or the cowboy to name a few.

Instead of being further conditioned, we can question these recurring motifs - like Esther Perel does, for example, by exploring the paradox of masculinity. The fear of uncertainty keeps us in a trance; our work in this garden is to surrender to don’t-know mind in order to break free. Dr. Ward will talk about the different stages of this transformation, and how to nourish your own metamorphosis.
