An intimate live event in Sydney with Tergar Facilitators Myoshin and Edwin Kelley

In a world that often encourages independence and self-reliance, many of us are left feeling disconnected and overwhelmed.

This program invites you into a radically different way of seeing and being: a space to explore the profound truth of our interconnection. Through teachings, meditation, small group reflection, and experiential practices, we'll explore interdependence not just as an idea but as a living, breathing truth. By reconnecting to our shared humanity and our deep belonging to this planet, we awaken the compassion and wisdom already within us.

On Friday July 11th we will begin with a talk on how a deepening awareness of interdependence is crucial to living in a harmonious way. On Saturday the 12th we will unfold it to experiential understanding with a daylong practice that further explores interdependence through meditation and reflection. 

Although we recommend doing both days, it is possible to do Friday and Saturday as stand alone events in person or via Zoom.

Come join us in a community of care to explore how the practice of interdependence can bring healing to ourselves, our relationships, and the world.
