Join Dharma Teacher Brian Kimmel for a journey to the heart of the Buddha's life. In this recorded session, we will explore the story of the Buddha’s 'Great Departure' and how his ancient path of 'Going Forth' offers us a roadmap for navigating our own times of uncertainty.
Understanding the 'Great Departure': Participants will walk away with a clear understanding of the Buddha’s original act of 'Going Forth' and how it provides a universal model for initiating change in one's own life.
Brian Kimmel (Bk) is a Dharma Teacher (Dharmācārya) in the Plum Village tradition of Thich Nhat Hanh, having received the Lamp Transmission in 2021. A practitioner for over two decades, he was ordained into the Order of Interbeing in 2006.

He has extensive experience facilitating transformative journeys, having co-led the first Wake Up Tour events in North America and guided diverse communities in mindfulness practices across the United States and internationally.

Brian is dedicated to preserving the "unsullied stories" of resilience within the Indonesian diaspora and is a bridge-builder between cultures and lineages. He invites students to walk the path of the Buddha not as a distant historical study, but as an immediate, embodied practice of liberation for our times....
