Online: Basic Goodness
with Amma Thanasanti
Saturday, April 22nd, 2023 | 10:00am – 1:00pm ET
The Buddha said that basic goodness is our birthright, who we essentially are. Yet for many, even after years of meditation, this can be elusive. This day-long retreat will review how our early childhood attachment formation contributes to our ability to feel our own innate goodness. It will describe the Idealized Parent Protocol formulated by Dan Brown and David Elliot. We will begin to practice attachment wounding repair using insight meditation, a type of loving-kindness meditation using visualization and collaborative co-regulation.
Program Format:
There will be introductions, talk, guided meditation, break out rooms and large group discussions. Interspersed will be mindful movement either inside or in nature.
