Mending Relationships

Give Yourself the Gift of Peace This Holiday Season

Weekend Retreat with Gen Lhadron

The holidays have a way of bringing relationships into focus. Family gatherings, old dynamics, difficult memories and unresolved hurts can all resurface. But what if your peace of mind no longer depended on someone else apologizing, changing or behaving differently?

In this weekend meditation retreat, we’ll explore practical Buddhist methods for healing relationships from within. Through meditation and teachings on acceptance, love and compassion, we can learn to let go of painful resentment and find peace with the people in our lives, even when the other person has not changed.

Acceptance doesn’t mean condoning harmful behavior or forgetting the past. It means letting go of the need for someone else to change before we can be at peace. We can maintain healthy boundaries, even love someone from a distance when needed, while freeing our own heart from resentment.

Healing can happen from our side alone, even with someone we no longer see or who has passed away. And often, when we change our own mind, the relationship begins to change too. As judgment and resentment fall away, we create space for something new.

This holiday season, take back your peace. Learn how to unhinge your happiness from circumstances beyond your control and discover a source of love, acceptance and wellbeing that comes from within.

Everyone welcome. No previous meditation experience necessary.

Stay overnight! On-site accommodations available.
