Awakening through the Three Characteristics: A Women’s Liberation Retreat
For those who identify as women. Spaces Still Available! This retreat is intended for the benefit of those who self-identify as women as well as nonbinary folks nourished in women-centered spaces. The radical promise of the Buddha’s teaching is that it’s possible to be at ease and free, even in unfree conditions. During this retreat, we will practice mindfulness and compassion, looking at the unfolding of moment-to-moment experience and ways of perceiving that are grounded in the three characteristics of reality (aniccā, dukkha, and anattā). Nourished by the tradition of Buddhist communities abiding in silence, kindness, and clarity, our time will include mindfulness meditation in stillness, movement, and all daily activities.
