Essential oils are the natural, aromatic liquids found in shrubs, flowers, trees, roots, bushes, and seeds. Once extracted, these oils provide a natural way to stimulate health in body and mind, and can be used in all areas of life. In these workshops, you’ll learn how to use essential oils in safe and clinically-researched ways. We will see oils, experience them and practice applications.
Instructors Thekchen and Diane are both certified clinical aromatherapists and have presented workshops on oils for eight years. Thekchen has also taught clinical essential oil use as part of elective courses in schools of nursing.

Healing your intimacy and relationships
Friday December 13 ･ 7:00-8:30pm
Relationships are one of the most important parts of the human experience - Rinpoche often says one of the great lessons we came here to learn was how to get along with others. It's no wonder, then, that so many of us find our greatest challenge is maintaining harmonious, fulfilling relationships with others. Buddhism offers a safe and proven method to heal our relationships. Come learn more about how to safely let go of hurts and transform your connection with others from the heart. The talk will be broadcast via telephone conference line: (559) 546-1301, access code: 403035#.
Healing the Subconscious
Saturday December 14 ･ 10:00-1:30pm
Psychology describes the subconscious mind, and each of us knows the issues held there can rule our lives if left unresolved. Tibetan Buddhism offers a different understanding of the subconscious, in its teachings on “subtle minds.” These also need to be healed, but are not viewed in the same way as the subconscious. After her first teaching on the subconscious earlier this year, join us as Domo Geshe Rinpoche expands on this work, sharing a contemporized Buddhist view of the subconscious, its role in our spiritual journey, and approaches for bringing healing to it.

Green Light meditation night
2nd Fridays ･ 7:00-8:30pm
Join the local White Conch community as we gather for a 30- to 40-minute Green Wisdom Light meditation. In this meditation, after generating compassion and a connection with a deeper place within oneself, one visualizes being immersed in a special green light - a light which comes from a deep place and has profound healing qualities. Many people who come to this for the first time experience a wave of peacefulness and a fresh, heart-centered aliveness. Time for discussion and questions is given after the meditation.
