with Bodhipaksa

Saturday, April 17th and Sunday, April 18th, 2021 from 9:30am - 1:00pm ET

On this weekend workshop Bodhipaksa offers us a rare opportunity to explore the Six Element Practice — a beautiful form of insight meditation taught by the Buddha himself. This reflective practice gently encourages us to question limited assumptions we hold about who and what we are, leading us toward a more open, expansive sense of ourselves. It helps us to connect the world within and the world outside, so we can recognize that they are in reality one non-dual reality.
