We all have negative narratives that drag us and others down. How is it possible to not get caught in the iron net of negative narratives? Perhaps, you or family members have been harmed? Perhaps, coworkers ot others are critical towards you? Maybe, you are critical of yourself? 

 

“Just as there is room in the sky for a thunderstorm, so there is room in the vast space of our mind for a few painful feelings; and just as a storm has no power to destroy the sky, so unpleasant feelings have no power to destroy our mind.” — Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche

 

In this retreat, we will explore:

> How to recognize and reduce negative narratives

> Negative vs positive perspectives to shift narrative
> Meditation techniques to focus letting go authentically from negative narratives of ourself and others

 

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.
