The transition between the old year and the new is its own kind of bardo, a pause that invites us to see differently. My new piece in Lion’s Roar explores how this in-between time is an opportunity for insight, renewal, and evolution. ❄️ ✨

In a new bardo interview, I talked with author Ann Patchett about devoting time to what matters, why death is ever-present for her, and using social capital to do good. @tricyclemag.bsky.social @parnassusbooks.bsky.social

Thank you so much!
Thank you to @literaryhub.bsky.social for featuring an excerpt from my book, TRAVELING IN BARDO: THE ART OF LIVING IN AN IMPERMANENT WORLD.

"Within whatever order we create, there are things we can’t control . . . and we can live with them rather than struggle."
In my new essay for Oprah Daily, I write about how Japanese wisdom helped me come to terms with losing my beloved dog, Mac.
It was a joy to connect with SF Bay Area booksellers who are bringing TRAVELING IN BARDO into readers' hands. From City Lights to Kepler's to Green Apple to the launch at Book Passage, I'm grateful to the Bay Area literary world for embracing my book with so much heart!

Deepest thanks to Sylvia Boorstein for our beautiful conversation about TRAVELING IN BARDO, to Book Passage in Corte Madera for the warm welcome, and to all who joined us on Saturday. What a joy to reflect together on impermanence, presence, and the stories that shape our lives.
I talked with Elizabeth Gilbert about her new book, ALL THE WAY TO THE RIVER, aligning with your true nature, and why she isn't done learning and growing.
This is the latest conversation in my series about bardo and the art of living in @tricyclemag.bsky.social.

...she gives us a map (just when we most need one!) of how to not only survive but thrive in times of great upheaval and uncertainty. Both gemstone and touchstone, this book is a gift.”
“Brilliant and compassionate, philosophical and practical, Ann Tashi Slater takes us on a modern-day journey through bardo. Drawing upon ancient tradition, her family’s deep lineage within Tibetan Buddhism, and her own experiences of unexpected grief and joy...
