Deep Abiding Change

“It is useless to try to willfully change ourselves. We are much too entrenched in our own habitual patterns and in maintaining physical and psychological survival. In fact, sometimes the more we focus on trying to change ourselves, the more our patterns strengthen. But there is a way out.” - Purna Steinitz

This guest teacher packed the house last time he was at IDP for his "Crushed by Love" Guest Lecture (click here to hear the podcast.) He rarely gives public talks, making this a special opportunity to explore these relevant topics:

How do we get beneath the activity of our lives to what’s really going on?

What does it actually take to go the distance and make the changes we long for?

What are the essential elements of transformation found in all authentic wisdom traditions, and how do we internalize these?

Purna is the founder of the Trimurti community based in Bozeman, Montana and Freiburg, Germany, as well as HeartStream Education, a non-profit organization that works with women and men who are incarcerated in prison. Purna offers a perspective that people from many different backgrounds and paths find immediately useful. For the past thirty-three years he has been a student of Lee Lozowick, a western teacher in the Baul tradition of Bengal, India. Please join in for a street-wise, passionate, no-nonsense consideration of deep abiding change.
