The Four Protective Meditations: Developing Courage to Meet the Way Things Truly Are (A Monastic Retreat)

Description:
This retreat brings together practices that brighten the mind and open it to our highest aspiration, while grounding us in our immediate experience of change.

The four meditations are:

  • recollection of the Buddha
  • metta meditation
  • contemplation of the body
  • reflection on death

By nourishing and strengthening the heart and mind, and giving us courage to explore the true nature of embodied life, these meditations protect us from getting lost in hopes and fears, guiding us toward awakening.

All are welcome! No one will be turned away for lack of funds as space allows. For more information, please email Registration@spiritrock.org.
