Please join us for the livestream of Leaning Into the Haunted Dominion of the Mind (2026) with Elizabeth Mattis Namgyel

Dharma encourages us to work directly with the challenging aspects of life. It never recommends that we avoid them. Some methods - like the methods of chod or cutting through - take us straight to the heart of the matter. Unless you are willing to expose the ego and lean into the things that scare you, liberation is not a possibility. Yes, this may sound scary…but think twice, because things may not be as they seem.

In this day-long retreat, Elizabeth will share a brief history of chod and discuss the view of its founder, Machig Labdron. There will also be guided meditation and plenty of time for discussion.

Burning With Love in a World We Can’t Fix 

We often wish we could fix the world - bring it to a static state of peaceful equilibrium. Of course, that’s impossible, not because the world is broken, but because life is too dynamic for the likes of our ideas. The path of the bodhisattva centers on navigating our way through the heart of this predicament in the most stunning way. Elizabeth will use the story of the bodhisattva, Avalokiteshvara - The One who doesn’t avert his attention from the suffering of beings - to explore this topic.

Recordings available for the OQ Live Conversation: “The Perfection of Wisdom” with Elizabeth Mattis Namgyel and Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo.

Making an early entrance into Vajrayana Buddhism as a nun, Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo has paved the way for modern Western yoginis and yogins alike. As a teacher, she encourages us, both through her example and teachings, that if we engage dharma training full-heartedly, accomplishment is sure to take hold in us. I am looking forward to joining Jetsuma in conversation and ask her about her life and the teachings on the Perfection of Wisdom.

During this intimate and precious time with Rinpoche, Elizabeth engaged her root teacher in a conversation about Bodhicitta and how we can cultivate healthy interdependence with our world. In particular, she asked Rinpoche to talk about ‘lhenchak,’ or karmic debt, which refers to the often unexplainable, sticky relationships in which we find ourselves caught.
