Ann Tashi Slater discusses her book, Traveling in Bardo: The Art of Living in an Impermanent World. Using stories of family, creativity, and everyday change, Slater examines the concept of bardo between-states—the transitional space between endings and beginnings. Her perspective offers a way to navigate life’s shifts with clarity and purpose. Elizabeth Gilbert says, “Traveling in Bardo is brilliant and compassionate, philosophical and practical… Both gemstone and touchstone, this book is a gift.” Register here.
