Event Description:
Please join us for a full day of practice with Viveka, a Senior Order Member in Triratna, and the President of the NY-NJ Sangha. Viveka brings a wealth of experience with Buddhist practice, teaching, and guiding groups to every event she facilitates. This is a wonderful opportunity to come together as a Sangha and community to enjoy a day of reflection and connection.
During the day we will explore a range of Buddhist approaches to working with emotion:
Let it be (mindfulness)
Tending to it (working with antidotes)
Turn towards it (deeper engagement)
We will enjoy a potluck lunch together. All are welcome to bring a vegetarian dish to share or a lunch to enjoy for yourself. Please bring water or other beverages to enjoy throughout the day.
If you are coming from New Jersey, we encourage you to bring your own mat and cushion. There is no air conditioning in the meeting area and the room will be cooled with fans. You may want to monitor the weather and layer your attire accordingly.
