SUMMARY:Mending Relationships
DESCRIPTION:Weekend Retreat with Gen Lhadron \nThe 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? \nIn 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. \nAcceptance 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. \nHealing 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. \nThis 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. \nEveryone welcome. No previous meditation experience necessary. \nStay overnight! On-site accommodations available.\n\n\n  \n\n\nSchedule\n\n\n\n\n\nFriday \n\nIntro : 7:00-8:30pm\n\n\nSaturday \n\n\nSession 1: 9:00-10:15am\nSession 2: 11:00-12:15pm\nLunch: 12:30-1:30pm\nSession 3: 2:30-4:00pm (with Q&A)\nSession 4: 7:00-8:00pm (chanted prayers with guided meditation)\n\n\n\nSunday \n\nSession 5: 9:00-10:00am\nSession 5: 11:00-12:30pm\nLunch (complimentary): 12:30-2:00pm\nSession 7: 2:00-3:00pm (chanted prayers with Buddhist dedication ceremony)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPricing\n\nEntire Weekend: $85\nSaturday only: $50\nFriday Intro: $20\nAccommodations: $110-190\nSee registration for member and benefactor pricing
