Stress as a Spiritual Teacher: An At-Home Meditation Retreat
David Chernikoff
September 8 - 11, 2022
The past couple of years have been a period of unprecedented stress for many of us. Buddhist teachings offer us a wide variety of skillful means for “turning poison into medicine.” In this retreat, we’ll investigate the nature of stress and the ways in which our own suffering can become a gateway to compassion that transforms the way we move through the world. A primary focus will be the practices of silent sitting and walking meditation. There will be meditation instruction, dharma talks, and experiential exercises designed to reframe our life experiences as stepping stones in the process of spiritual awakening. This retreat is a heartfelt invitation to explore your “growing edges” in a caring, supportive practice community.
