Overcoming Adversity: Guided Meditation Retreat

Life can be very difficult. Fortunately, Buddhist psychology and meditations called "transforming adverse conditions" offer effective methods to help navigate life's hardships. Instead of feeling stuck and helpless, we develop an inner power to transform suffering into healthy and positive states of mind, such as love, compassion and joy. Not only do we grow spiritually, but we also become a genuinely positive influence in our world.

Each session of this retreat will include practical instruction and guided meditations, with time for questions in the final session.

No previous experience is needed, and absolutely everyone is welcome!
