City Retreat

Finding Satisfaction in an Unsatisfactory World Urban Retreat

10:00 am – 1:00 pm

with Buddhist Teacher Tom Mitchell

With our immersion in social media and 24-hour news it is very easy to get overwhelmed and discouraged. Buddha taught that while we may not be able to control external events, we can definitely learn to control our reactions to them. Buddha’s advice is just as relevant today as it was when given 2,600 years ago, and it is just as beneficial to Buddhists and non-Buddhist alike, as well.

In this event a range of practical strategies will be introduced through which participants can learn not to “buy into” the negativity that surrounds us. Guided meditations and an opportunity for questions will also be included.
