About this On-Demand Program

Equanimity is not indifference; it represents inner strength. It is the calm at the center of the storm, providing the spaciousness necessary to meet life’s beauty and pain with balance and clarity. In the teachings of the Buddha, equanimity serves not only as a protection for the heart but also as a path to awakening itself, described as inseparable from Nibbāna (nirvāṇa). Learn to steady the heart—not by shutting down, but by opening wide.

This retreat includes four guided meditations, four Dharma talks, and a suggested schedule. This framework can be integrated into your daily practice or applied throughout the days to come, allowing you to shape your practice as you see fit. The retreat is open to both beginning and experienced meditators.
