Why is an engagement with the inner world essential at this critical stage of human and planetary history? This conversation between Buddhist Lama Tsomo and Christian spiritual theologian Matthew Fox will explore how the emergence of archetypal forces can foster change at this significant moment in our survival. In dialogue with each other and with participants, Lama Tsomo and Matthew Fox will consider the healthy feminine, the healthy masculine, and the sacred marriage of the two; the Buddha Nature and the Cosmic Christ; and wisdom and compassion.

The conversation will include practices and exercises offered from both the Buddhist and Western traditions to help ensure that all participants are grounded in breath and body, and engaged in more than just an intellectual exchange.

The Saturday workshop will elaborate on themes introduced in the Friday night lecture.

Matthew Fox is author of twenty-eight books on spirituality and culture. In an effort to bring alive the mystical tradition of the West he has published books on the mysticism of Meister Eckhart, Thomas Aquinas, Hildegard of Bingen and the Cosmic Christ tradition of Christianity.

Born in the West, Lama Tsomo has been ordained a lama by one of the great "reincarnated" or "high" lamas of Tibet, Gochen Tulku Rinpoche, who himself is a holder of many lineages. She teaches in both America and Asia.
