Facing Anxiety An evening of insight and guided Feeding Your Demons practice

Anxiety is a familiar companion for many of us, often met with resistance, avoidance, or wishing it would go away. This evening offers a different approach.

Lopön Pieter Oosthuizen will introduce the Feeding Your Demons® process, a practice rooted in Tibetan Buddhist wisdom and adapted for contemporary life. Rather than turning away from difficult emotions, this approach invites us to meet them directly, uncovering the resources and insight they hold.

The evening will begin with a brief discussion about anxiety, how it takes shape in our lives, how we meet it, and how it can become a doorway to greater understanding, introducing the principles of this process. The evening will continue with a guided practice that offers a direct experience of working with anxiety in a way that can bring greater ease, support, and clarity.

Together, we will explore:

• A new way of relating to anxiety 
• The principles of the 5-step Feeding Your Demons process
• How Feeding Your Demons be applied to anxiety and other inner challenges

This session is open to all. No prior experience is needed.

What is Feeding Your Demons?

Feeding Your Demons is a guided process that helps us transform difficult emotions and inner conflicts by turning toward them, rather than pushing them away.

Rooted in an ancient Tibetan practice and adapted for modern life by Lama Tsultrim Allione, it offers a practical and accessible way to work with challenges such as anxiety, fear, self-criticism, and more.

Through a simple 5-step process, what we habitually experience as obstacles can become sources of insight, strength, and inner support.
