Description:
Living with illnesses, we experience a greater need to celebrate life and endless possibilities. Each moment is precious. Many of us yearn for the deepest compassion with our struggling selves, and to connect with the natural joy of living. This weekend retreat is open to people living with illnesses, survivors as well as caretakers, loved ones, and health professionals.
Through writing, music, and sharing, we will explore our healing capacities. The retreat will include contemplative practices of walking and sitting meditation. Please bring writing materials and a small item for the altar.
Teachings are appropriate for health care professionals as well as the general public. Health care professionals will be able to incorporate the tools and practices offered in this program in ways beneficial to clients, patients, and caretakers. Continuing Education (CE) credit available. See below for attendance requirements and more information.
