The Mountain Solid, Water Reflecting Sangha is hosting the “Riding the Waves of Life” retreat with Leslie Rawls on October 24-27, 2024 at the Well Being Retreat Center in Tazewell, TN.
Life isn’t always smooth sailing; sometimes the seas are quite choppy. The Buddha taught many practices to help us ride life’s waves in difficult moments.
Among these practices are the Four Immeasurable Minds, the Brahmaviharas—practices of love, compassion, equanimity, and joy. During this retreat, we will explore and practice with the Brahmaviharas, using mindfulness to ground us.
The retreat will include Dharma talks by Leslie, small group sharing, sitting and walking meditation, silent meals, and private practice interviews. On the last day, Leslie will offer a ceremony to transmit the Five Mindfulness Trainings. All are welcome — newcomers and experienced practitioners.
