Join us for this retreat in nature at the beautiful Big Bear Retreat Center in Big Bear California. Experience the power of an open heart in the expanse of awareness. The Buddha taught that we all have the capacity to abide in the four Brahma Viharas (the divine heart states). These are: Lovingkindness, Compassion, Sympathetic Joy, and Equanimity. If we look deeper, we will see the interplay of emptiness with the Brahma Viharas and how they support each other.

In this retreat we will weave the heart practices with emptiness to see beyond the prism of separation and into the boundless nature of the awakened heart/mind. This silent retreat will include periods of sitting and walking meditation, daily instructions, dharma talks, Q&A, mindful movement and meetings with the teachers. Suitable for all levels of experience.Click here for more info and registration.

After two years of Covid, many of us are holding stress and grief in our nervous systems and we’re feeling taxed and exhausted. In this half day we will develop and deepen somatic and self compassion practices to release this trapped energy and better address these challenging times.
