Restructuring Your Life: Making Inner and Outer Changes that Align with Who You Are Now

Phillip Moffitt, Dana DePalma
There comes a time in everyone’s life when it’s clear that a restructuring is needed, that the framework you’ve built isn’t serving you any longer. Perhaps you’re spending too much time on things that are no longer a priority, or there’s something you really want to be doing but other things keep getting in the way. Perhaps you’re living your life according to a story you’ve outgrown, or maybe you’ve made an internal shift but your outer life hasn’t caught up. This three-day mindfulness-based workshop retreat will interweave short, guided meditations with practical teachings on topics such as values and intentions, priorities, and the journey through change. You’ll complete self-assessments that will help you gain clarity and support you in catching up with yourself. We will focus on mindfulness practices you can utilize to stay true to what’s most important and help you reorient when you inevitably get off track.

How to be a Bodhisattva: Zen Insights on the Way of Compassion 

In this daylong retreat, we’ll explore teachings about the Bodhisattva path—the way of friendliness and compassion—and we’ll study a short text of Dogen, the 13th Century founder of Soto Zen, called “The Bodhisattva’s Four Methods of Guidance.” This poetic text offers four practices designed to awaken the bodhisattva spirit: generosity, kind speech, beneficial action, and identity action. Together, we’ll spend time experiencing Dogen’s words through meditation and writing.
