In the Shambhala Buddhist tradition, there is a saying, "Unless we understand the nature of fear, we cannot know fearlessness." Beginning September 6th, Gaylon Ferguson, Ph.D, will outline a step-by-step approach to engage fear as a direct path to transforming ourselves and our world. Read Gaylon's retreat introduction from the Fall 2011 issue of Tricycle here.
