Open Heart, Grounded Presence: these two qualities are signs of a vibrant and balanced inner life. They are also attitudes that can help us to explore and uncover the mind that is balanced and at ease, right in the middle of our lives, on retreat and off. In this retreat, through periods of sitting meditation using the breath as a base, in walking meditation, and in mindful discussion, we will explore these applications. Beginners and experienced meditators are welcome.
