Details
Do you often find yourself feeling irritated, frustrated, or full-on angry? Although irritation, frustration, and anger feel perfectly natural, they steal away your peace of mind and common sense, and can force you to say and do things you regret. By contrast, with authentic patience you can remain balanced, flexible and strong, especially when things go wrong!
During this morning retreat, special Guest Teacher Gen Chokyi will guide practical meditations and offer a wise and encouraging perspective to help you gradually develop the calm, wise, and spacious mind of patience.
No previous experience is needed, and absolutely everyone is welcome!
