In such a year as this, suffering is in the air, it’s in our media, in our hospitals, in our politics, in our bodies…it is inescapable. So much suffering is being transmitted out onto others, but the Wisdom Traditions to tend to it within ourselves, until it transforms us. Our greatest gift we can offer the world is our own self-transformation.
On the other side of COVID, great rejoicing awaits…but if we have not done the inner work along the way to tend to our suffering, we will reap the long term health consequences found whenever we suppress something that was meant to be transformed and released.
Join us for a winter retreat in which we tend to the suffering of ourselves and the world. This is the paradoxical path into deeper joy, vitality, and equanimity. Our time together will major on contemplative practices, brief teachings, time outdoors, and time in breakout groups. The retreat will include a focus on self-care and support practices for during and after the retreat. Fear not those who suffer zoom fatigue–the time gathered online will be broken up and is only one aspect of this experience.
