Loving Kindness and Equanimity With Sharon Salzberg

Loading Events

Equanimity is a spacious stillness of mind that allows us to be with things as they simply are. It does not imply indifference, however. Rather, when equanimity is present, it is the ground out of which sustained transformation can occur. It is also the foundation for the boundless arising of other qualities of the mind and heart, such as lovingkindness and compassion. Through guided meditations, talks about the Buddha’s teachings and Q&A periods, this daylong workshop will explore the power of equanimity in all aspects of daily life. Suitable for both new and experienced meditators.
