The Resilient Heart: Compassion, Inquiry and Spiritual Practice: A Week-long Workshop
With Eduardo Zambrano and Hogen Bays, Roshi
January 17 - 23, 2022
This event will not take place on zoom.
Resilience is our individual capacity to thrive in demanding situations, and to get back up when we are ‘knocked down.’ The choices we make when responding to difficult situations and our attitude and willingness to act demonstrate resilience. Working together, we can support, with compassion, resilience in ourselves and in our fellow human beings.
We will investigate these themes in a retreat that is part meditation, part teaching, part personal exercises and part discussion. We will use Byron Katie’s method of inquiry called The Work to investigate our core beliefs and fixed ideas which cause suffering in our world.
Participants must be fully vaccinated, boostered AND receive a negative MOLECULAR (e.g. PCR, NAAT) Covid test within three days of arrival. For the latest on our health policies click here.
