An opportunity to explore what it means to grow into steadiness and cultivate balance within our present moment experience. Mindful practice nourishes wisdom and presence to transform the effects of stress and discontent on our hearts and minds. Developing equanimity enables respond-ability and presence to the turbulence that often shows in our lives, our communities, our world.
This retreat includes meditation instructions and dharma talks as well as guided, sitting and walking meditations. There will be small group meetings, and the teachers are available for private meetings. The retreat will be supported with twice daily yoga sessions.
