Making Peace with Your Ego: Finding Freedom trough Letting Go

Led by Lisa Ernst, Registration opens March 1

“Live in the nowhere you come from even though you have got an address here.” –Rumi

During this retreat, we will explore the nature of our identity and sense of self we use to live in the world, as well as the wise space of heart and mind that lets go. As we practice meeting all of the activity of self with mindfulness, steadiness, and kindness, our insight and compassion grow. The more we make peace with our ego, the more we dwell in our own boundless, empty nature. These practices also empower and support us in our challenging everyday lives.

This silent retreat will include periods of sitting and walking meditation, daily instructions, dharma talks, q&a and meetings with the teacher. All experience levels welcome. More info and registration here.
