Online: Resourcing, Resiliency and Inquiry
with Amma Thanasanti
Saturday, July 25th, 2020 | 2:00pm – 5:00pm ET
The Buddha taught the first foundation of mindfulness – awareness of body and breath – as a cornerstone to enlightenment. Learning to relax and bring attention to the body allows for stillness and renewal. When awareness suffuses the body, we can see it as ever present. As attention shifts and rests in awareness, it supports letting go. This is resourcing. Our resourcing supports our resiliency with all that is going on. Our ability to meet the challenges together is critical for all we are navigating as a global society.
We will begin this online retreat with body centered practices, open our focus to rest in awareness itself. Then, self selected affinity groups will have some time to engage in discussion around what matters most.

She is the Spiritual Director of Awakening Truth and founded the Integrated Meditation Program (IMP), which brings attachment repair and trauma-informed tools to address baseline patterns that meditation alone may not shift.
