9:00 am - 12:45 pm ET

- REGISTRATION CLOSED -


Joy and happiness in our practice are like the favorable winds for sailboats that propel them in the desired direction. In the “Mindfulness of Breathing” discourse (Anapanasati) we are given specific instructions on how to arrive at joy and happiness, and how to cultivate them in order to move towards knowledge and liberation.

 In this half-day retreat, join Andrea Castillo as we explore the arising of joy and happiness, and the nurturing of these states once present, through guided and silent meditations, a Dharma talk, dialogue, and participatory exercises.

All are welcome. This program is offered live and will not be recorded.
