In situations of conflict, we tend to become angry easily. We even think anger will help us ‘win our battles’, and we rely on it as if it were our trusted friend. The mind of anger, however, leaves a trail of broken relationships, lost opportunities, and painful feelings in its wake.

There’s a reason for this. According to Buddha, anger is a deluded, unpeaceful mind that distorts our perception, causing us to exaggerate problems so that they feel unmanageable.

During this half-day retreat we will have the opportunity to apply some of Buddha’s practical advice in meditation to transform the energy of anger into a creative response that opens us up to resolutions and new possibilities.
