Description
Designed for both new and continuing students, this Half-Day Retreat will focus on one of the foundational practices of the Dharma Ground practice method: the Renunciation of Judging, Comparing, and Fixing minds. These three mind states are compulsive reactions to situations we face. They tend to contract us into a set of fixed ideas or identifications. As a result, we become unavailable to the wide range possibilities and choices that we may have that support our well being and freedom in our hearts and minds.
In this Half-Day Retreat, we will explore each of these mind states through short dharma reflections, meditative and reflective practices and group sharing. We will also have a chance to practice the renunciation vows. The half day includes orienting talks, guided meditations, short walking/moving meditation, and sharing and response in groups.
