Daylong: True Refuge -Cancelled

Please accept our apologies for the cancellation and the difficulties we had with notifying many of you. Please contact Anne.Green@imcw.org for any questions about refunds or if you would like to donate your registration to help cover expenses for the cancellation. Thank you for your understanding.

 When we are caught in fear or shame, our tendency is to take false refuge. We turn towards obsessive thinking, self-judgment or judging others; we get busy and distracted; we numb ourselves with over consuming. Remembering our true refuge at these times is the gateway to all healing and freedom. In this workshop we will investigate how we get stuck, and how we can call on the self-compassion and wisdom that carry us to happiness, freedom and peace. Our day together will include meditations and reflections, dharma talks and sharing.
