Daylong Description: In our fast-paced and often chaotic world, it can be challenging to maintain a sense of sacredness and steadiness. This daylong retreat, "Holding a Sacred View: Honoring Our Lives in the Midst of the Mess," offers a space to reconnect with our inner wisdom and cultivate a sacred perspective amidst the complexities of modern living.
Throughout this retreat, we will explore practices and Buddhist teachings that help us honor our lives, recognizing both the beauty and the struggles as integral parts of our spiritual journey. Through meditation, reflection, and group discussions, we will delve into the principles of right view, mindfulness, compassion, and interconnectedness, learning how to hold a sacred view even when life feels messy.
Whether you are new to meditation or an experienced practitioner, this daylong retreat will offer valuable insights and practices to help you honor and hold your life with a sacred view, no matter what arises. Join us for a day of reflection and connection.
