Guidelines:

• We will start promptly at 8:30. If you need to join late, that’s fine, but don’t turn your camera on until you’re settled, as to not disturb others. I will have everyone muted, so don’t worry about making noise.

Meditation is a fundamental tool for understanding ourselves and our world—a much- needed skill during these world-wide challenging times. Understanding and deepening our emotional responses to stressful events allows us to relate to our own lives more skillfully and compassionately. When we meditate, we practice bringing our awareness to our emotional state and we can begin to understand our personal “emotional landscape”, i.e. why we react the way we do.

These retreats will begin with meditation instruction and practice develop into an understanding of our emotional lives and how we can apply our meditation while we are “off the cushion” — in our day to day lives and in the world at large.

Although there are no retreats scheduled at this time, please let me know if you would like to be informed about at upcoming retreat.
