In-Person and Online: Practicing Hope – An Embodied, Heart-Based Retreat
with Leslie Booker and Dara Silverman
Saturday, November 23rd & Sunday, November 24th, 2024
In this two-day non-residential retreat, we’ll explore “hope” as an embodied practice in a tumultuous world. Join long-time friends and collaborators Booker and Dara as they weave together somatic (body-based) practices and the heart practices of the Buddha’s Brahmaviharas (expressions of love). Together we’ll cultivate these capacities in ourselves, and nurture a fuller understanding of the body and heart.
Online: Cultivating Thanksgiving with Indigenous and Buddhist Wisdom
with Bonnie Duran and Ramona Peters
Saturday, November 30th, 2024
Gratitude and related practices can bring peace, calm and happiness. Thanksgiving ceremony is a medicine that we can use to begin to heal ourselves, our relationships, and our world. In this half day program, the teachers will offer meditation practices to develop gratitude which are grounded in Buddhist teachings and informed by their perspectives as Native Americans.
Online: Knowing Our Bodies – A Buddhist Approach
with Bob Stahl
Tuesday, December 3rd, 2024
If we don’t learn to stay present in our body without clinging to our experience, we risk reinforcing attachment to our physical self, which can leave us feeling frustrated and stuck in our meditation practice. In this two-hour online event, teacher Bob Stahl will guide us through a unique Buddhist practice known as the Contemplation of the 32 Parts of the Body Meditation. Together, we’ll work on understanding the true nature of the body, reflect on its impermanence, and discuss its four primary elements.
