“Living with Ease: Finding Freedom from Suffering”

This human life comes with its share of suffering and joy… the 10,000 joys and sorrows as they say in Taoism. The joys can be wonderful and the suffering is hard. Is there a way to suffer less? Yes! Join us as we explore this possibility at our fall daylong retreat.

Spend the day learning about and practicing mindfulness meditation, a discipline rich with teachings on how to work with the suffering we experience in our lives. We will gather at St. Francis Springs Prayer Center in Stoneville, NC on November 15th from 10am to 4pm. 

There will be several talks given on this theme and how we can begin to relate to suffering with a skillful heart and mind. We will have multiple sessions of sitting (or lying down) meditation and walking/movement meditation throughout the day. A midday lunch is included. All levels of meditation experience are welcome. Some prior meditation is helpful but not required. This will be a hybrid event, offered in-person and online. Registration is required and will close on November 12 at noon.

This class is offered through the Hirsch Wellness Network in Greensboro, NC, with registration occurring via the Hirsch Wellness website (see link below).
