Taking and giving on the breath is a magical practice. An heirloom of the Buddhist teachings and our tradition, it is beloved for its power to heal, transform obstacles, and energize the mind.
In this weekend retreat, learn how to engage in this exquisitely beautiful meditation and how to integrate it into busy, modern life. By combining it with our breathing, we can learn to make every moment meaningful and see every experience as an opportunity for meditation and contemplation.
Everyone welcome!

Weekend Meditation Retreat: Healing with Every Breath: A Taking and Giving Weekend
Join in to the conclusion of our Weekend Meditation Retreat and enjoy Prayers for World Peace. In Buddhist meditation, we use a mother or a guardian as an example of a selfless type of love. Through admiring that example, we can then embody that kind-hearted attitude with more and more people, and eventually the whole world. We will see how to bring that mindset into our life so we can be a force for good. Everyone welcome!
