Description:
During this retreat we will explore the nature of ego and the enormous stress that comes with trying to be “someone”. With Insight Meditation, we can make peace with our various self views. In sitting and walking meditation, supported by instructions and Dharma talks, we will cultivate embodied presence. We will use the healing tools of mindfulness and lovingkindness to meet the activity of self with balance and openness, perhaps even “loving the house that ego built”.
Online Only: We are offering this program online via Zoom for you to join us remotely.
