Description: During this retreat we will explore the nature of ego and the enormous stress that comes with trying to be “someone.” With Insight Meditation, we can make peace with our various self views. In sitting and walking meditation, supported by instructions and Dharma talks, we will cultivate embodied presence. We will use the healing tools of mindfulness and lovingkindness to meet the activity of self with balance and openness, perhaps even “loving the house that ego built.”

All are welcome! No one will be turned away for lack of funds as space allows. For more information, please email Registration@spiritrock.org.

This program will assist health care workers to be able to work with those difficult mental states, and offer practices for acceptance, healing, and growth. And, with more understanding of their own egos, health care professionals will be able to offer improved care to their patients and clients.
