The Health of the Mind

January 27, 2019 @ 9:30 am - 12:30 pm

with Carol Cano 

Buddhist teachings are not a religion, they are a science of mind.

—The Dalai Lama

We will explore a genuine approach towards happiness and peace at a time in human history that is undeniably chaotic and leaning towards the brink of madness. What copings skills are helping us manage conflict, stress, fears and the nonstop pressure of society as a whole? The Buddha presented a map for “awakening inner freedom of the spirit and liberation of the heart from entanglements in unhealthy states”. We will cultivate practices recognizing and let- go of unhealthy states.

This half-daylong is open to all levels of practice especially new practitioners to the dharma. We will be exploring the dharma and mindfulness meditation as healthy tools for coping and moving more towards equanimity.
