The Festival of Faiths is hitting the radio waves this week.
On Wednesday, April 24, at 1:30 p.m., Louisville Public Media’s Jonathan Bastian will interview Festival of Faiths keynote presenter Elizabeth Mattis Namgyel on 89.3-FM WFPL News Radio. Namgyel will talk about her programs for the May 14-19 Festival of Faiths and her role as a retreat master at Longchen Jigme Samten Ling retreat center in Colorado.
During the Festival, Namgyel will present Mind at Ease – Why We Meditate and the Way of the Bodhisattva, a mini-retreat, which will focus on the contemplative practices of Tibetan Buddhism in the West. That program will take place on Tuesday, May 14, from 1:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. at Actors Theatre of Louisville.
On Sunday, May 19, from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at the Galt House, Namgyel and her son, retreat master Dungse Jampal Norbu, will present Growing Up with Meditation: A Discussion Between Mother and Son. The two will share their unique experience of having dharma at the very core of family life and look at the riddle we all face: how to transform our closest relations, with all their love and struggle, into the ground of developing compassion.
A live stream of Jonathan Bastian’s interview with Elizabeth Mattis Namgyel will be available at www.wfpl.org.
