Awakening for Householders: Practice and Freedom in Everyday Life (CL1D23)

Registration closes at 9:00 am (US Pacific Time) on Saturday, February 25, 2023. A waiting list will be created if the program fills early. A recording* will be available following the program in approximately 10 days.

Description:
Having the time, money, and circumstances that allow for going on a meditation retreat is not a privilege that everyone shares, let alone the ability to live as a monastic. Many of us have commitments to care for children, elders or others, or to our work in the world. Is awakening only for people living a monastic or semi-monastic life, or can we find just as much depth through the life of a householder? Together, we will explore the possibilities for profound insight to be found in taking out the trash, writing emails, and sleepless nights of childcare. Through talks, guided meditations, and relational practices, this retreat will highlight and celebrate the multitude of ways we can awaken in daily life.
