Event Details
Cost: Sliding Scale $75 – 200. Code HC1D18.
The Buddha was called ‘the Happy One.’ His path is all about our capacity to use our life to fulfill our goal of happiness. This day of self-care will follow the Buddha’s Way of mindfulness and love, illustrating how each of us can move from clinging and attachment to freedom, from confusion to clarity, and from tension to ease of well-being.
Through sitting and walking meditation in silence, investigating the flow of our experience moment-by-moment, we can relinquish the causes of suffering and reclaim our natural happiness. This day is suitable for all levels of experience.
Teachings are appropriate for the general public as well as health care professionals. Health care professionals will develop a greater understanding of how we can train our hearts and minds to be Happy, how we can change our happiness set point. We will practice the art of feeling and staying present in the body while working with others and accomplishing the many tasks necessary for effective service.
Continuing Education (CE) credit available. See below for more information.
