Disentangling the Tangle: Finding Freedom in Relationship with Ourselves, Others, and the World
Registration Open. Working with the Four Establishments of Mindfulness, we will explore how we create entanglements and therefore can free ourselves from these recurring patterns. Turning towards these tangles with kindness and understanding allows the metabolizing and releasing of old habits. In keeping with the 2,600-year-old Buddhist monastic tradition, this retreat will include daily periods of devotional chanting and an adherence to the Eight Precepts. This retreat also includes sitting and walking meditation, practice meetings with teachers, and Dharma talks.
