Join us for a half-day retreat to practice the art of dropping out of stressful states of mind, and absorbing into the experience of inner peace.

We all know that stressing out about things just makes them worse. And yet we also feel like we have no choice but to stress and worry about the crises and pressures we are facing at the moment. Actually, our stress does not come from the external situation, but rather from our response to it. Stress comes from our mind. If there were a method to ‘drop out’ of a stressed mind and into a clear and peaceful one, wouldn’t you use it?

And if we could learn how to respond to problems differently, in a more centered, flexible and effective way, wouldn’t you want that?

In this course we will learn how to do both. Julie will guide us in a surprisingly simple meditation that can bring about a peaceful, clear mind swiftly. Then, using Buddha’s profound insights into the mind, he will uncover where our stressful response comes from, and show how in letting go of that mistaken perception we can respond skillfully and peacefully. Right about now, this advice seems more pertinent than ever!
