Through the practices of mindfulness and equanimity, the heart discovers a capacity for steadiness and love, which allows us to stay open to the challenges of our times without being broken by them. During this silent retreat, we will call on mindfulness to support the cultivation of equanimity, a relational and meditative ballast, through guided meditations, dharma talks, one-on-one practice meetings with teachers, and periods of sitting and walking meditation. This retreat is open to all levels of experience and anyone interested in the Buddha’s teachings of liberation, wisdom, and compassion.
