Clarity, Connection, and Compassion: The Liberating Path of Mindfulness
Registration Opens - February 19. During this retreat, we will cultivate the capacity to connect intimately with the felt sense of the body, heart, and mind, developing a clarity of perception that unclouds our attention. As we let go of a mistaken sense of ownership of our passing experience, we open to a deeper understanding of the truth of the way things are. From here, we can begin to free ourselves from false notions of separateness and infuse our lives with greater joy and wisdom.
