This is How Civilizations Heal: The Alchemy of the Three Poisons - A BIPOC Retreat
Open to all self-identified BIPOC.
Registration Open. The three poisons—greed, aversion, and delusion—are mind states that cloud the heart and mind. However, by clearly recognizing the three poisons, we can meet them with their antidotes of generosity, mettā, and wisdom. Generosity expands our ability to feel connected and reminds us that we belong to each other. Mettā opens the heart, protecting us from both inner and outer harm, while wisdom allows us to see things right sized as we move through the world.

Five Spiritual Powers: Cultivating Resilience, Balance, and Love
Registration Opens - February 19. The Buddha’s teaching on the five spiritual powers (confidence, effort, mindfulness, concentration, and wisdom) offers a path to cultivate these capacities of the heart and transform habits that no longer serve us. Grounded in these teachings, together we will learn powerful and sustainable ways to restore our humanity and bring freedom to all beings. This retreat offers silent meditation, opportunities for movement meditation, Dharma talks, and time to be in nature and honor the natural rhythms of your own practice.

Finding Home in Sangha: A Retreat for Asian Heritage Community
Open to: Self-identified community of Asian heritage (including Central, East, North, South, Southeast, and West Asian ancestry)
Registration Opens - February 19. This retreat invites folks of the Asian diaspora into a kinship of experience, holding the paradox of identity and history in balance with the Buddha’s ultimate pointing toward truth and liberation. Held in the wisdom and compassion of the Dharma, the community can move toward a collective healing, appreciating its connectedness and difference. Rather than seeking the perfect external conditions, we’ll support each other in finding solace, comfort, and the joy that can be sourced from our relationship to experience.
