Weekend Meditation Retreat: The Science of Happiness: Applying the Four Noble Truths to Our Daily Life
October 2 – 4 | Saturday Workshop
with Kadam Donna Campanelli
Registration Opens August 19 at 2pm
The Four Noble Truths is the essence of Buddhist thought and is a clear, precise way to understand our life and how to move forward in it. Understanding the Four Noble Truths helps us accept the pain and problems in our life, understand where they exactly come from, how to free our mind of every trace of suffering, and finally experience lasting freedom.
In this weekend Kadam Donna will take everyone step-by-step through these practices, explaining them clearly and giving ample time to feel their benefits in meditation. We will discover how these incredible teachings can be applied to the basic challenges we experience in our family life, relationships, and work, or in deeper, more spiritually transformative ways. They are limitlessly practical and useful, customizable to exactly what we need. Everyone welcome!
Make it a Weekend Getaway!
