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: 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.
