About this event
Everyone experiences the pain associated with craving and attachment, and many people suffer from some type of addiction.
Through exploring Buddha’s profound teachings and meditations we can learn how to overcome compulsive ways of thinking and acting that compel us to seek satisfaction from deceptive sources.
Whether you struggle with food, intoxicants, social media, relationships, or any form of addictive behavior, this retreat will help you gain insight into these pervasive and painful mental habits. Through deepening our understanding and experience of Buddha’s timeless wisdom, we can gradually transform these uncomfortable minds into the path of spiritual development.
