Mini Meditation Retreat
Stable, Strong and Loving:
Finding Inner Stability in All Relationships
Saturday December 5th, 10am-12:30pm
With Resident Teacher Gen Chöyang
Cost: $35; $25 for students
We have tremendous potential to experience relationships that are less stressful, confusing and de-stabilizing. Buddha taught that stable and enjoyable relationships are possible when we begin to practise positive ways of thinking that give rise to peace.
In this mini retreat, we will focus on distinguishing between when we are responding to others with love and when we are responding with attachment: Two states of mind that we often mix up. Love and acceptance bring security while attachment leads to disappointment and insecurity. Discover the Buddhist approach to building healthier, happier, and more peaceful relationships with others.
This retreat is suitable for both beginners and more experienced meditators. Everyone is welcome!
