Upcoming Programs by Heidi Bourne

Awakening the Heart of Love; Walking the Path of the Bodhisattva

Also With Laurie Cousins

November 5 - 10, 2024
The path of the Bodhisattva asks us to dedicate ourselves to the well-being of all sentient beings - to show up as best as we can for ourselves, each other, and the natural world with a quality of no-matter-whatness. It's an impossible though necessary task. Drawing on the teachings of the Buddha, our retreat focuses on cultivating the capacity to skillfully navigate our everyday lives with a steady receptive mind and a courageous wise heart. Held in peaceful noble silence throughout the retreat, our practices include foundational and transformative guidance on lovingkindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity. Please join us as we take a deep dive into the timeless and beautiful teachings of the Bodhisattva, the one who meets suffering with intention, strength, determination, courage, and love.
