Online: Deepening Practice with The Four Reminders
with Dr. Shanté Paradigm Smalls
Saturday, March 5th, 2022 | 10:00am – 1:00pm ET
This half-day workshop explores the deep wisdom and power of the Four Reminders which turn the mind toward liberation, the dharma, and freedom. By working with notions of the preciousness of our lives, the truth of impermanence and death, karma’s cause and effect, and pain that comes from living in a constant state of ignorance, passion, and aggression (the Three Poisons of samsara), we can make strides in being free from deception in our lives.
This workshop will consists of meditation, guided contemplation, guided rest, small groups, and Q&A.
