Stephen Batchelor emphasizes that “nothing is permanent, perfect, or personal” as a foundational practical approach to living a more mindful and less reactive life. “This phrase encourages individuals to embrace the changing and, at times, difficult nature of existence rather than seeking solace in illusions of permanence or perfection.”

During this retreat, we will have the opportunity to ask ourselves and discuss, “What am I perceiving? What am I believing is so solid that it’s going to be here forever? What am I believing to be perfect? What am I believing to be personal?” Open Heart Sangha invites you to explore these questions through daily teachings, Dharma stories, and a variety of practices to meet each precious moment of your daily life.

Supported by noble silence, Dharma reflections, and meditation instructions by Paulette Morris, participants of all backgrounds and experience levels are welcome. Please join us in our exploration.  Learn more and register by clicking on the link below.
