The Art of Being Human
Shambhala Training Level I
July 22-23
Through the practice of meditation, we glimpse unconditional goodness as the ground of our existence. Opening to ourselves with gentleness and appreciation, we begin to see our potential as genuine and compassionate human beings. Thus we can discover how to live with a clear mind, a gentle heart and a sense of humor. Recommended for new and experienced meditators, as well as for those looking to enrich their existing spiritual path.
