With Debra Kerr and Mushim

In this daylong meditation retreat, we will explore the possibility of finding space and ease, even while dealing with painful conditions of body or mind.  Mindfulness and sangha are powerful tools for finding ways of working with pain, for lessening isolation, and for increasing our compassion, both for our own pain, and for the pain of others.  There will be guided and silent meditation, movement practice, lovingkindness and compassion practice, as well as small and large group discussions and dharma talks.  As we work with pain, we will also find ways of inviting pleasure and joy into the day.
