Equanimity is a culmination of practice where the mind is steady, contented, and undisturbed. It’s the opposite of being agitated or overwhelmed. One traditional simile is being supple like bamboo so we can bend in the wind and not break. It’s ultimately about giving up any struggle with how things are in this moment. When we can rest in equanimity, we find a kind of well-being and happiness which is not so dependent on circumstances because it’s generated from within. It’s not so easy to do, so we have this whole path of practice to support us.

Dedicated Practitioner Program
This two-year program is for Insight meditation practitioners who want to deepen their practice and understanding of the Buddhadharma—through immersive, residential retreats, study, and shared practice. As a community, we’ll look closely at the roots of suffering and the Buddha’s path towards freedom, gaining a deep understanding of what it means to be liberated. We will focus on cultivating wisdom, compassion, and ethical mindful action into everyday life, staying close to the Buddha’s original teachings in the Pali Canon and how the teachings can support us in contemporary life. DPP is an opportunity to engage in a systematic investigation of many of the foundational lists from the teachings of the Buddha.

Beneath the Noise: A Journey into the Mind’s Quiet Power - Annual BIPOC Retreat
For those who identify as BIPOC. Spaces Still Available! Designed to support the BIPOC community only. Dharma practice is a journey of unveiled mysteries that can bring profound transformation. During this retreat we are invited to quiet the noise of striving, meet ourselves fully, discover the peace that arises when the mind is steady and enter a space where truth is felt rather than defined. With deepened internal inquiry, we will explore how thoughts shape our reality and learn to work skillfully with the mind rather than against it.
