Working with Your Enemies: 
Finding Freedom from Hostility and Fear

A Weekend Retreat with Sharon Salzberg & Robert A.F. Thurman

Thursday, June 4th - Sunday, June 7th

An enemy, whether within (in the shape of a habitual, painful mind state) or without (as someone for whom we steadily feel antipathy or fear) marks the edge between limited lovingkindness, compassion, sympathetic joy and equanimity and the potential boundlessness of these qualities. In this workshop we will explore inner and outer enemies, look at the fear, anger and anguish generated by being stuck in a mode of “us” and “them”, and focus on the liberation we are capable of. There will be periods of dialogue, discourse, and meditation practice.

Sharon Salzberg is cofounder of the Insight Meditation Society (IMS) in Barre, Massachusetts and is one of America’s leading spiritual teachers and authors.
Robert A.F. Thurman is a world-renowned Professor of Indo-Tibetan Studies at Columbia University and the President of Tibet House U.S.
