Equanimity is often described as mental balance and even-mindedness in the face of the ups and downs of life. It is our true hope for peace in this world of wild change. But how is genuine equanimity possible given the enormous amount of suffering we experience both individually and collectively? How do we navigate toward an equanimous heart-mind as wide and spacious as the entire world?  

Join Rebecca Bradshaw for a half-day retreat exploring how mental suffering can shift to an expansive and compassionate presencing. By building the capacity to hold our own pain, we begin to be able to hold the world’s pain and unruliness as well.  We will practice with embodied equanimity, knowing this quality of freedom not only through our mind, but also through our heart and abdomen, all the way down to our contact with the steady Earth.

Join us in person or online to explore the journey towards equanimity in our own practice, learning what equanimity feels like in the whole body—in mind, heart, and abdomen—thereby grounding it in reality.
