From Worrier to Warrior Meditation Retreat
Saturday, October 5 | 10am - 1pm
It’s easy to get caught in the rocking chair of worry. Expending a lot of energy on something(s) or situation(s) that may or may not happen. It’s not easy to break away from worry, but when you have wisdom tools, you empower yourself to become a warrior who conquers their worry.
“I will conquer all obstacles, and none shall conquer me.” — Shantideva
In this retreat, we will explore:
> What is the nature and function of worry
> How to release ourself from worry using various meditations
> Meditation techniques to focus your mind with strength and joy
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.
