Description

This workshop is full. To join our waiting list, please call 877.944.2002 or email registration@eomega.org. Please include your name, address and daytime phone number.

Even though we may be able to “talk the talk” about awakening and the spiritual life, the most important point is to be able to “walk the walk” and put the teachings into practice on the spot in good and difficult times.

“There is a saying that the teacher is always with us,” Pema Chödrön says. “The teacher is always showing us precisely where we are at and encouraging us to relax and open our hearts and minds, encouraging us to not speak and act in the same old stuck ways, encouraging us also not to repress or dissociate. The teacher knows that our habitual responses are never going to bring us the happiness we seek.”

In this workshop appropriate for helping professionals as well as nonprofessionals, Pema Chödrön explores some of Buddhism’s most fundamental yet most profound wisdom to show us how to “walk the walk.” The weekend also includes a period of silence from the end of retreat session on Friday night until Saturday dinner, and meditation sessions with cofacilitator Elizabeth Mattis Namgyel, retreat master of Samten Ling in Crestone, Colorado.

This retreat begins Friday at 7:00 p.m. Bring your own meditation cushion or bench if you like; cushions and chairs are provided.
