10am-4pm ONLINE

Please join us for this online retreat with Dr. Pilar Jennings – A Buddhist & Psychological Response to War: Working with Compassion and Wisdom When It Is Most Needed

In this 1-day retreat online, we will explore the impact of war and its aftermath from a Buddhist and psychotherapeutic lens. Dr. Pilar Jennings will offer teachings on compassion and wisdom as the primary methods for surviving the impact of war and our ongoing efforts at recovery. With periods of meditation, conversation, and discussion, together we will enjoy a day of deep inquiry that offers needed insight and well-being. An offering is requested.

She has been working with patients and their families through the Harlem Family Institute since 2004. She is a Visiting Lecturer at Union Theological Seminary, a guest lecturer at Columbia University, and a faculty member of the Nalanda Institute for Contemplative Science. In our Buddhism & Mindfulness program, she has taught several short courses, including “Working with Difficult Emotions – A Buddhist and Psychotherapeutic Approach,” which explored a range of emotions from a spiritual and clinical perspective. More recently she taught “How To Be in Relationship.” Her website is drpilarjennings.com.
