As the days grow longer with more sunlight, we reflect on the COURAGE and ENERGY that support our path—allowing us to shine more light through mindfulness from within and meet this precious human birth with clarity and skillful presence.

This retreat will explore the themes of Courage and Energy in our Dharma practice. The morning session will begin with Ali's Meditation and Talk on Courage in Dharma practice. After a short break, Laura will guide breathwork, movement, and discussion inspired by Virya - joyful energy - inviting the radiance of the sun as a symbol of our inner strength and natural clarity.

We will break for lunch around 12:30 for 1 hour.

After lunch, Devin will lead a QiGong practice and a talk on the Chinese Summer Solstice tradition. This will be followed by Ali's Meditation and Haiku session and closing with Q and A.

All are welcome! No prior experience is necessary.

This retreat will be held  in person at the White Heron Sangha Meditation Center and on Zoom.

Registration is required.  There is no registration fee for this retreat and dana will be gratefully accepted.

100% of dana (donations) will benefit Engaged Buddhism of White Heron Sangha for the furnishing of rooms for people in transition and the Pantry Project.
