The nuns bring dream yoga and other contemplative practices into conversation with what contemplative science has begun to confirm about awareness\, attention\, and change\; along the way\, the talk opens onto the themes at the heart of Maitripa’s year: a nger\, anxiety\, and death\, and the buddha nature that underlies all thre e.

Ani Choyang speaks from lived monastic training and persona l practice\, translating ancient methods into guidance anyone can use. The talk sets up the three programs Maitripa will offer across the coming yea r\, each devoted to one of these difficult\, universal experiences. \nRegi ster here\n\nA Day for Women: Fierce and Steady Practice\nSaturday\, Septe mber 19\, 2-5 pm\n\n\nOn the afternoon of Saturday\, September 19\, 2026\, Maitripa College will host a gathering for women\, marking the close of t he Hidden Happiness Tour’s Portland visit\, led by Ani Choyang\, Venerab le Yönten\, and Maitripa College leadership. The intention is simple: to fill the space with women’s practice and to connect with one another wi th care and attention. Through sitting practice\, guided reflection\, and shared conversation\, the afternoon will turn toward the distinct qualitie s women have long carried within the tradition\, a fierceness capable of m eeting anger\, fear\, and mortality without flinching\, alongside a steady \, strong attention that holds space for others to do the same. Consider i t a first gathering\, seeds rather than harvest\; what grows from it will depend on who comes and what each person brings. In person in Portland on ly.
