SUMMARY:Online: Equanimity: Finding Our Balance in Difficult and Challenging Times
DESCRIPTION:An Online Retreat with Arisika Razak  \nSaturday\, August 13th 2022 \n10AM – 4:30PM PT \nClosed captioning will be provided. \nJust as the Buddha sought a Middle Way between body-denying asceticism and total sensual indulgence\, many of us are searching for balance. In the face of rapidly escalating attacks on our bodies\, our communities\, and our civil and human rights\, we may find ourselves overwhelmed by anger\, fear\, anxiety and despair. \nThe Buddha taught that freedom is found when we dwell in the present moment and cultivate loving-kindness for all beings. But how can we do this in a world so saturated with greed\, hatred\, and delusion? \nThe practice of equanimity invites us to rest in our heart’s wisdom\, even in the midst of struggle and pain. It supports our bodies’ well-being\, and allows us to accept the world as it is – without being overwhelmed by the feelings that blow through us and without compromising our willingness to take transformative action to heal the world. \nIn this day-long retreat\, we will actively engage in practices that promote equanimity. We will use movement\, meditation\, small and large group sharing\, dharma teachings and writing to relax our bodies\, calm our minds and face our difficulties with renewed hope and acceptance. \nWe invite you to bring art supplies\, as well as something to write with.  \n \nA zoom link to join us will be included in your EventBrite confirmation.
