A Steady Heart in Turbulent Times: Bringing Emotions to the Path of Awakening

A Zoom Retreat with Tim Olmsted

Saturday, November 8th

8:00 am - 4:00 pm PST (see schedule below)

 When the world seems threatening and chaotic, we’re called to respond with as much clarity and balance as we possibly can. For this, we need understanding and skill as we navigate our inner life and the world altogether.

This online program is open to anyone, experienced meditators and those who are just starting out.

While our emotions may delight and invigorate us, when examined we find them to be fleeting and unreliable. On a subtle level, the emotions often obscure the abiding peaceful awareness that lies at the very heart of each of us. During this daylong retreat, we’ll discover how to use the energy and richness of our emotional life as the golden thread along the journey to awakening. We’ll learn to bring emotions to the path – as the basis for inner peace and equanimity, as a source of radiant compassion and, finally, as brilliant wisdom.
