Open to: Everyone

Description:
Join us for this half-day program where we will explore the practice of wise engagement—a way of practicing that embodies ease, contentment, and joy in the body and mind. Rather than over-efforting, we’ll cultivate a joyful and relaxed approach to mindfulness, aligning with the Buddha’s teachings that happiness is essential for the mind to settle and be liberated. Through guided meditations, including laying down practices and reflections on key suttas, we’ll discover how happiness and contentment are not luxuries, but necessities on the path to freedom.

Online Only: We are offering this program online via Zoom.

Sliding Scale: Our sliding scale options for this program include financial support for our teachers. Please consider paying at the highest rate that you can afford: your generosity supports the teachers as well as Spirit Rock and your fellow practitioners who need to pay less.
