“How can I reorient toward Wisdom qualities in order to struggle less?”

“How do I manifest mature Compassion in my life?”

In this day of practice, we will explore more deeply the development of the qualities of Wisdom & Compassion.  We will investigate in theory and direct experience the Wisdom Qualities of Impermanence, Unsatisfactoriness, and Inter-Dependence (Not Self); and how they support and inter-weave with expressions of embodied and maturing Compassion.

Enjoy a day of quiet sitting and walking meditation, which allow our body & mind to settle down and our hearts to open. In addition to insight meditation practice, Heather will offer teachings and guided practice on the Three Characteristics and Compassion as a Divine Abode of mind-heart, as well as plenty of discussion about how to live these teachings in our daily lives.
