Taking Refuge in the Heart

PLEASE join us in this quiet time of winter to make space for what lives in our hearts, and whatever sorrows and joys they may hold. Given our human condition and life circumstances we can often find ourselves ricocheting from agitated reactivity to overwhelm, numbness and despair in our emotional life. Through the support of Sangha, sitting together in meditation, and drawing on teachings from the Buddha, we can begin to open to the vast space that lives between those polarities of reactivity and numbness. We can touch into  a wise and tender compassionate aliveness that is our birthright and true home.

We look forward to spending  this sacred time with you in community. All are welcome!

If you would like additional support in this retreat, we encourage you to buddy up with a sangha member or two, and following Covid precautions that feel appropriate, do the retreat together at one of your homes.
