Description:
In the midst of life’s complexities, it’s more essential than ever to resource ourselves with practices that nurture ease, joy, and stability. Join us for this half-day program to explore how contentment and happiness are not indulgences but foundational to living with resilience and balance. Through guided meditations, including lying down practices, and reflections on key Buddhist teachings, we’ll discover how embracing ease — in lieu of over-efforting — can serve as a refuge, supporting a steady mind, an open heart, and a life of greater freedom and peace—for the sake of ourselves and others.

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.
