The Art of Being Human: A Weekend Meditation Retreat

Develop and nurture your meditation practice with “The Art of Being Human” this April! Discovering Basic Goodness through the secular path of meditation develops gentleness as well as fearlessness. An important part of the path of Shambhala, is the vision of a sane and compassionate society that could be created in this age, with fearless and gentle people, who are referred to in Shambhala Training, as warriors. We can find warmth that radiates to others, that paves the way to develop a vision of an Enlightened Society.

This intimate urban retreat provides instruction for sitting and walking meditation as a means to develop mindfulness in daily life, as well as teachings, personal interviews, and opportunities for discussion.

Those who have and have not registered for the weekend are invited to attend the Friday night session from 7-9 pm free of charge! Those of you who have not yet registered, you can decide whether or not you want to attend the full program after the talk on Friday evening.

The full weekend continues on Saturday & Sunday, April 29-30, 8:30am – 5:30pm each day, starting with a light breakfast each morning. The program begins at 9am, concluding at 5:30pm with short breaks throughout, and concludes with a celebratory reception on Sunday.
