About this event

Navigating difficult, and especially long term emotional reactions and negative tendencies is one of the greatest challenges we have as humans. Sometimes we can even feel powerless to change a persistent negative emotional pattern as despite our best intentions and all of our intellectual knowledge and techniques, they get the best of us every time.

Instead of trying to push away the negative emotional states we carry, we can feel them and transform them into the supreme mind of compassion. This is the practice of alchemy, where we take our own poisons and transmute them into gold. The practice of Taking and Giving, is one of Buddha’s most skillful and powerful methods to transform our negative thoughts and feelings into the mind of great compassion, which has the power to benefit not only ourselves but all living beings.

In this retreat we will learn and practice Taking and Giving in a step by step fashion, allowing us to truly experience its healing power. Join Us!
