Staying Real and Healthy as We Respond to Suffering

Are you working on ways to stay grounded during challenging times? Join us for an immersive urban retreat to practice engaging with your body and the world in ways that often get overlooked or shut down in everyday life. All bodies & abilities are welcome!

The retreat is offered by the San Francisco Buddhist Center’s Green Sangha and guest teacher Dh. Tārāvajrī. Tārāvajrī is an Order member, somatic psychotherapist, registered dance movement therapist, and experienced authentic movement practitioner.
