Event Details
Date: May 4, 2019; 10:00am – 4:30pm
Sliding Scale: $75 – 200. Code NH1D19.
Description:
Based on Narayan’s recently published book, The Magnanimous Heart; Love and Compassion, Loss and Grief, Joy and Liberation, we will explore what it means to live and to practice with a heart and mind that is spacious and buoyant in the very midst of loss and change. Is it possible to relate differently to our experiences than our conditioning dictates, and to bring all of our experiences into our dharma practice? We will explore these questions in a variety of ways throughout the day, including guided meditation, discussion, and Q&A.
