  • Daylong Retreat: The Three Tenets of Zen Peacemaking with Jokai Blackwell

    Online Zoom Meeting

    The Three Tenets: Not-Knowing, Bearing Witness and Taking Action serve as a catalyst for transformative engagement in the world. The Three Tenets support our ability to clearly see, work with, and respond to complex and deeply triggering concerns and issues. Through the practice of meditation, we come face to face with Not-Knowing, realizing the limitations of our fixed ideas and concepts. Out of this place of open encounter with life, our capacity to Bear Witness to the pain of the world emerges. As we hear the cries and sorrow of a land in tumult, we naturally Take Action to respond to the suffering we see and feel all around us.

    Unitarian Universalist Church of the Desert 72425 Via Vail, Rancho Mirage, CA, United States

    The Buddha said we suffer because we cling and if we could let go, we would have peace. However, this is more easily said than done. How do we let go of those fixed ideas and habits of mind? How do we even recognize where we are stuck?

  • CANCELLED: Daylong: Awakening Our Hearts

    Unitarian Universalist Church of the Desert 72425 Via Vail, Rancho Mirage, CA, United States

    We will use this day to examine and uncover the dynamics of privilege and oppression, intention, and impact.
