Retreat Description:
From one perspective, spiritual practice right now might appear to be a luxury. Yet, in the middle of the intensity of this historical moment, caring for our hearts is an urgency. Fear, stress and uncertainty make our minds very suggestible and can lead us down the rabbit hole of anxiety. But this moment is also acting like a magnet, pulling our goodness to the surface. This retreat is an opportunity to cultivate a sense of refuge, courage and love.

Home retreat can be transformative in ways we do not experience in residential retreats. It allows us to deeply integrate this spiritual path into our living space, creating the visual and temporal reminders of path and practice in our own home. We will, of course, be doing this together. In a time of isolation, finding community can be especially meaningful. Our retreat will provide a structured immersion in meditation practice, yoga practice and dharma talks, while allowing the flexibility to practice in a rhythm that accommodates your life. Please join us.

Description:

We are at a threshold of global transformation that is asking us to revisit some of the assumptions we have lived with in order to fashion a sustainable and just way of living. We are invited to look at the many blessings in our lives, as well as touch some aspects of our painful past—personally and collectively—that have brought us to where we are now. As we ask for forgiveness, it opens the gateway for more authentic joy and celebration.

This day retreat will include time for meditation, teachings, ritual, and inquiry in small groups to center our experience of forgiveness and gratitude.

Description:

The Divine Abodes (Brahmaviharas) of lovingkindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity, are the places of the open, awakened heart. In this online retreat, we will learn the formal practices of lovingkindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity, and offer guidance for bringing these practices into daily life and our acting in the world. All of these practices strengthen self-confidence, self-acceptance, generosity of spirit, and steadiness of mind and heart, revealing our fundamental kindness.

The retreat will alternate sitting meditation and walking meditation (or taking care of home responsibilities). Core instructions in the different practices will be offered, along with talks, discussion, and brief daily guided movement sessions.

This retreat is suitable both for those wanting a dedicated at-home retreat, much like a residential retreat, and for those with some responsibilities wanting a home retreat with many hours of formal practice but also time for other activities
