Retreat Description:
Spirit Rock warmly welcomes all self-identified People of Color (POC) who are nourished by Buddhist teachings of Loving Kindness and Compassion. These practices help us relate to ourselves and the world from a place of love, clarity, and empowerment.
Loving kindness supports our hearts’ natural capacity to respond with love, warmth, and tenderness. Over time, we develop a sense of inter-connectedness with all creation. Compassion practice gently turns us towards the suffering that can come from living in an unfriendly world. It helps us meet our inner critic and the world with clear-seeing and kindness. This retreat will include silent sitting, walking periods, Dharma talks, and group discussions.
All levels of meditation experience welcome.
