Online: There Is More to Death Than Dying
with Amy Selzer & Nancy Glimm
Saturday, July 23rd, 2022 | 10:00am – 4:00pm ET
This daylong retreat will focus on the 5th of the 5 Reflections, “I am the owner of my actions, heir to my actions, born of my actions, related to my actions, supported by my actions. Whatever actions I do, whether good or evil, of that I shall be the heir.”
We will explore the 5th Reflection and its relationship to forgiveness.
It was the Buddha’s wish to assist us in living more fully with freedom in our daily lives. The Reflections are a wake-up call for all of us.
This program will consist of meditation, writing exercises, break-out rooms, dharma talks, and sharing.
All levels of experience are welcome!
This program is part of a series of four day-long retreats throughout 2022 exploring the various Buddhist-based practices related to death and dying and in the process living fully. While the series will pick up themes and practices which were introduced in the prior Life and Death programs. These retreats are open to all who meditate and are interested in exploring these powerful practices. The fourth and final retreat is on:
Sunday, October 23rd, 2022 | 10:00am – 4:00pm ET
