Join the Southern Tier Sangha for this retreat day of Pema Chodron's advice for living in difficult times. In Living Beautifully, she teaches that living wisely amid the uncertainty of modern life depends on three commitments: to refrain from harm, to care for one another, and to embrace the world as it is. The retreat will invite participants to engage with these commitments through shared readings, discussions, guided meditations, and a video teaching from Pema. Together, we will explore the surprising nature of these teachings—how “not causing harm” calls us to face our own pain, and how “embracing the world as it is” can create profound change. We’ll also consider ways to apply these insights apply to our daily lives.

We will share a potluck lunch.

All are welcome; the retreat is open to people of all faiths. No experience or preparation required.

Free event. Advance registration is requested.
