SUMMARY:New Years Retreat: Cultivating Joy with Emily Hsu
DESCRIPTION:Cultivating Joy in Your Practice – with Emily Hsu \nNew Year’s is a great time to recover and heal from the past year\, renew our energy and inspiration\, and set an intention for the year to come. Going into retreat with a supportive community gives us the opportunity to rest\, restore\, and transform our minds to benefit ourselves and those around us. Join Emily Hsu for a 5-day residential retreat aimed at bringing joy into 2020! \nCultivating Joy in Our Life and Practice\n…even in turbulent times \nIs it possible to experience joy all the time\, as an underlying basis of being? How do we cultivate a deeper sense of joy in our life and spiritual practice\, without closing ourselves off from the reality of suffering? (And how do we keep our practice from being rote and stale\, or like a duty?) What prevents us from experiencing more joy? In this retreat we will explore the nature of joy and ways to awaken and deepen it\, to develop a stable wellness of being\, and to counteract obstacles to maintaining a happy and joyful mind. \nThis retreat will be partly taught from a Tibetan Buddhist perspective\, but will be beneficial for anyone who is interested in meditation and enhancing joy and well-being. The retreat will include dharma talks\, meditation\, exercises for developing joy\, a New Years fire puja\, nature and R&R. \nWhat: a silent\, residential retreat\nWhere: Harmony Ridge\, a retreat center in Grass Valley\nWhen: 12/28/2019-1/1/2020\nCost: $550 per person \nThe cost includes a semi-private room and bathroom (with one or two roommates) and prepared meals.
