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.
