During this day we will explore the nature of ego and the enormous stress that comes with trying to be "someone." With Insight Meditation, we can make peace with our various self views. Sitting and walking in silence, supported by instructions and dharma talks, we will cultivate embodied presence. We will use the healing tools of mindfulness and lovingkindness to meet the activity of self with balance and openness, perhaps even "loving the house that ego built."

Teachings are appropriate for individuals as well as health care professionals. Continuing Education (CE) credit available. See below for more information.

Young Adults (18-26) and Seniors (65+ with limited and fixed income) are invited to attend this daylong at a rate of $25.
