As we enter a new year, the world calls us toward resolutions and self-improvement, but the Dharma calls us toward remembrance. In this online retreat, we invite you to rest in your own enoughness by remembering the Four Noble Truths and practicing Right Effort.
We will honour the First and Second Truths by acknowledging loss, sorrow, and structural harm while the Third and Fourth Truths direct us to the power of compassion that moves us toward liberation; not just for ourselves, but for our communities and the Earth.
Rather than making resolutions to become someone else or something more, we will practice remembering our Buddha Nature and trusting what is already here.
We begin with a daylong retreat on Sunday to immerse ourselves in contemplative practice, followed by morning and evening sessions Monday through Thursday to carry the themes into daily life. Morning sessions include meditation, chanting and a theme for the day, while evening sessions offer meditation, a Dharma talk, group sharing, and further practice.
All* sessions will be recorded and available in your dashboard for one year.
* unless there is a tech issue outside of our control. We try our best! Thank you for your understanding.
