Do you ever feel like your mind is like a wild elephant? How can you train or tame your mind to pacify the distracting and destructive thoughts that hold you captive? We can improve the quality of our minds through training in mindfulness and alertness with joy. From improving the quality of our mind and clearly understanding how to guard the mind, our happiness will increase and we will experience a deep inner peace and suppleness of mind.

 

In this retreat, we will explore:

> Guarding the mind versus suppression through mindfulness

> Protecting our mind when it’s upset and feeling uncontrolled

> Becoming familiar with how to pacify negativity through a daily practice

 

The retreat is suitable for all meditation levels, including beginners. It includes guided meditations, short teachings as well as Q&A in the last session. Everyone can benefit from this retreat — you don't have to be Buddhist to participate.
