The Warrior Heart: Practices to Nurture and Sustain You in Challenging Times (GF1D23)

Registration closes at 9:00 a.m. (Pacific Time) on December 1, 2023. A waiting list will be created if the program fills early. A recording* will be available following the program.

Description:
To live our lives fully, with meaning and joy, we need a strong connection to a steady and open heart: the warrior heart that allows us to be brave, vulnerable, and wise. In these challenging times, this is not always easy. Our hearts can be broken, stressed, shut down, and can become exhausted or weak.

In this daylong retreat, we will explore practices that allow us to tend and strengthen the heart. Leaning into the teachings of the brahmavihāras—those divine abodes that help open and balance the heart—we’ll investigate the forgiveness practices as a vehicle for liberating the heart. Our meditations will incorporate some somatic practices to best support the unfolding of our warrior heart. This daylong will weave together time for teachings, meditation and somatic practices, group conversation, and walking/movement practices.

Online Only: We are offering this program online via Zoom for you to join us remotely.
