Trust Impermanence: An Insight Dialogue Retreat
Saturday, May 27 | 10 am – 3 pm EDT | Tibet House, 22 W 15th Street, NYC
‘All things fall apart’ was the Buddha’s last teaching before passing away. How can we live peacefully with this universal and challenging truth?
On this retreat we’ll explore Insight Dialogue, a fully relational meditation practice supporting interpersonal freedom.
We’ll contemplate together how attuning to change supports letting go.
This special day will have elements of guided movement, silent meditation and mindful dialogue in pairs. All are welcome.
Schedule
We will begin practice promptly at 10 am. We will break for a 1-hour lunch at noon and end at 3 pm.
