| The teachings of Dharma help us embrace the entirety of our lives and face great challenges with compassion and creativity. We are encouraged to sensitively acknowledge the instability and stress in our lives from a place of well-being. Throughout this retreat, we create a gentle and nurturing environment to connect with difficult aspects of the human experience, such as aging, illness, loss, and death. By cultivating spacious tenderness instead of contracting in anxiety and despair, we can find the liberation of the true heart's release. |
