Workshop Description
This experiential workshop explores how compassion and love can help us navigate grief, caregiving, loneliness, loss, identity shifts, and life’s many transitions. Drawing from Buddhist wisdom and spiritual care practices, participants engage in meditation, creative expression, reflection, and community conversation.
Her Biography: Rev. Zhong Zun (Heidi Ahrens) is an ordained Buddhist chaplain and spiritual care practitioner with 30 years of contemplative practice and experience accompanying people through disaster, loss, caregiving, and life transitions. Throughout her work, she has accompanied people of many faiths (or non) traditions, cultures, and backgrounds, honouring each person’s unique beliefs and lived experience. This workshop draws from her practice and from the Sustainable Compassion training developed by John Makransky.
Many of us already know Heidi as a fellow meditator at our Centre, especially at the Shamatha meditation sessions on Sunday mornings.
