(One Day Meditation Retreat) Sowing the Seeds of Peace: The Transformation of Anger with Judith Simmer-Brown

During these divisive times, anger in the public square affects every aspect of our life together, usually as obstacle but also as opportunity.&nbsp;&nbsp;What do the Buddhist and Shambhala teachings have to offer us in how to work with anger, our own and others?&nbsp; Drawing from the timeless teachings of warriorship from the Indian master Shantideva and from the ever-current terma of Shambhala, this one-day program investigates anger, its felt qualities and its inherent wisdom, and identifies ways of transforming anger into seeds of peace.&nbsp; Through guided meditations, talks, and breakouts, we will explore the ways anger hurts us and everyone and identify what tender wisdom lies at its core.&nbsp; This program is for everyone, no matter what level of Buddhist practice.
