Befriending Impermanence and Uncertainty

How do I stay grounded and open hearted in the midst of change and turmoil?
How do I drink deeply of the Refuge of Impermanence?
How can I further develop Non-Reactivity & Balance so I have more Clarity & Energy to Manifest an Appropriate Response?

‘Mei Neh’, as it’s said in the Thai, “It’s uncertain.”  In this experiential daylong, supported by community, we will deeply explore the terrain of the world of changing conditions.  Through learning to recognize and release fear & reactivity in the body & mind, we open to the spontaneous authenticity of fully living a life within uncertainty.

• Body Practices to settle the nervous system to decrease reactivity
• Heart Practices to work with fear, which allows us open to & embrace change
• Exploring Insights into Impermanence as a Refuge & a Joy!

Enjoy a day of quiet sitting and walking meditation, which allow our body & mind to settle down and our hearts to open to an inner wisdom. In addition to insight meditation practice, Heather will offer teachings & guided meditations on the theme, as well as optional Qi Gong practice & plenty of discussion about how to live these teachings in our daily lives.
