About this Event
"When we gain the realization of equanimity our mind becomes peaceful and we do not feel disturbed whatever our circumstances. ... If everyone were to develop equanimity they would not be governed by attachment and hatred, and they would find freedom from suffering."
– Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche
Step away from the busyness of daily life and join us for a morning of quiet reflection and guided retreat.
During this retreat, we will be training in the sublime meditations that give rise to equanimity – a warm and friendly feeling towards all living beings. This precious state of mind frees us from unbalanced attitudes such as anger, jealousy, and fear, enabling us to stay balanced and grounded no matter what circumstances we face. When our mind is governed by equanimity we will find that many of our own personal problems are naturally overcome.
Each retreat session will include time for a brief relaxation practice, guidance from the retreat Teacher, and then plenty of time to enjoy meditation on equanimity. There will also be an opportunity for Q&A to make sure you return to your normal daily life with confidence to engage in these meditations whenever you wish.
This retreat is open to everyone regardless of experience, and is perfectly suitable for Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike. Everybody is welcome!
