Dharma as a Verb: Mindfulness Practices to Cultivate Joy and Equanimity Amidst the Waves of Change
Open to all self-identified women
Description:
Impermanence, annica, is one of the fundamental teachings of the dharma. All things arise and pass away. What if we allowed ourselves to ride this wave of transience with a sense of joy and liberation? A sense that we too are part of the constant motion. We are not fixed. Our relationships, our personalities, our stories are not fixed, although we may be conditioned to believe otherwise.
We’ll explore how the teachings are a living, dynamic aspect of our lives that help us understand and embody our own fluidity. Change is all around us, the ten thousand joys and sorrows. Can this be a doorway to embrace the dharma and our very lives as a verb?
Together, we will delve into the heart teachings of joy and equanimity, the role of the elements, and our connection to nature in order to celebrate our capacity to ride the waves of change.
All are welcome! No one will be turned away for lack of funds as space allows. For more information, please email Registration@spiritrock.org.
