Lotus of the Heart 29 November 2026

This retreat day will intertwine the knowledge of Buddhist philosophy and western psychology to help you to grow compassion and wisdom regardless of the challenges and difficulties of the world around us.   This is similar to the lotus that rises from the murky depths of a pond to bloom.  

We will explore practices to cultivate mindfulness and awareness of our own thoughts and emotions.   We will explore how acknowledging and accepting our struggles without judgement is the first step toward compassion for ourselves and others. 

You will learn different methods and strategies to combine your wisdom and heart felt compassion which will sustain you in the more complex months of December and January ahead. 

The day includes lunch, unlimited refreshments, all teachings and handouts.
