A Day of Practice: In the Eye of the Storm

No events to show

Description

In a world marked by turbulence and uncertainty, this day will focus on the essential tasks of centering, stilling, and grounding; the practices suggested will help to strengthen the skills of embodiment, equanimity, mindfulness and finding trust. In guided meditations, with the help of brief inputs and contemplative exercises, you'll explore with different teachers how to find inner stability and calm as the source of genuine agency amidst life's challenges.

Join us in this supportive setting to deepen your practice, reconnect with your inner refuge, and cultivate a steady presence in the midst of the storm.
