Led by Deb Kerr
The tools brought by meditation have one primary goal: to see the truth of our lives and be liberated by it. One central aspect of the truth is the Buddhist concept of not-self. Put simply, this means that, as the Buddha said, “Nothing whatsoever is to be clung to as ‘I’ or ‘mine.’” The teachings on emptiness and not-self are closely related, and can bring up resistance, confusion and even fear. But as we open to these teachings, there is huge relief and space for joyful ease.
This day long is open to all practitioners, and will include periods of stationary and moving meditation, interactive exercises, and practical ways of touching into emptiness.
