Bruce Pardoe ~ When Gratitude and Wisdom Become One
Wisdom tells us that life is a flowing river of change that isn’t so personal. Thus, we don’t have the control we might think we do, and trying to impose something we can’t is stressful and unsatisfying. As we open to a strategy beyond control, gratitude recognizes and embodies this wisdom while celebrating the fruits of our new relationship to life. In this way, it becomes both the vehicle and destination that we call liberation. Tonight’s talk stands on its own and builds on Sunday’s daylong retreat on the Wellspring of Gratitude that is a fundamental aspect of our true nature.

Bio: Bruce Pardoe is a member of Mountain Stream’s Teacher Council. His personal healing journey with complex trauma led him to develop the radically gentle Heart Fluency method for engaging emotional wounds and afflictive patterns as portals to our essential well-being and happiness. Heart Fluency combines neuroscience and the unconditional nourishment of a healing awareness in an uplifting, heart-centered approach.
For more than 40 years Bruce has been navigating and facilitating the path of inner healing. After spending over two years on silent retreat he became a meditation teacher in the Vipassana tradition of Buddhism. He has completed Spirit Rock’s Meditation Center’s 2 year Community Dharma Leader training and has studied extensively in Asia in the traditions of Tibetan Buddhism and Advaita. Bruce has also trained in Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement and Hakomi’s body-centered psychotherapy.
