Forgiveness and Compassion.
In the Buddhist tradition of overcoming resentment with forgiveness, hatred with love, fear with confidence, ignorance with understanding, and greed with generosity, this workshop focuses on cultivation of the heart’s natural qualities of forgiveness and compassion.
Noah Levine, Buddhist teacher and counselor, is our guide. Through talks and meditation, we discover how this spiritual practice is an engagement with life that goes against the norms of our society, and is therefore an act of rebellion. As we learn to develop a greater sense of care for ourselves and for our world through the revolutionary spiritual practices of the Buddha, we discover that they can not only profoundly change our own lives, but also the lives of those around us.
This retreat is suitable for both beginning and long-term practitioners. Youth, families, social workers, and activists are encouraged to attend.
Tuition: $245 (does not include accommodations or commuter fee) Member Tuition: $225
Course: SM08-2102-313

The Buddhist Path of Awakening
The Buddha offered a timeless yet practical path of awakening that is grounded in ethical behavior, meditative practice and compassionate action. The freedom we all seek is right here in our own direct experience, to uncover the awakened truth all we have to do is pay close attention to the present moment and transform our attitudes, actions and intentions. In this weekend retreat we will practice what the Buddha taught-mindfulness, loving-kindness and renunciation. Meditation instruction will be offered and all are welcome to attend regardless of experience.

The Buddhist Path to Freedom
Breaking the Addiction to the Mind
Tuition: $180*
Buddhism is a path to freedom from suffering. That suffering originates in the addictive quality of the mind and our habitual tendency to grasp at pleasure and push away pain. All addictions stem from these roots.
The Buddhist path offers a spiritual and psychological process of transformation that has proven to be a most effective treatment for our human addiction to thinking and all the suffering we create with the mind. And Buddhist meditation is the most potent tool there is for recovering our original wholeness or Buddha nature.
Open to all levels of experience, this weekend will provide an opportunity to learn and practice several different forms of Buddhist meditation oriented specifically toward breaking free of old ways of thinking. People in 12-step recovery programs are especially welcome.

Against the Stream: A Weekend Meditation Retreat
Noah Levine
The path of awakening was described by the Buddha as being one of rebellion and subversive action. He said that the experience of freedom from suffering was "against the stream." This weekend meditation retreat is especially appropriate for social workers, teachers, and anyone interested in how the Buddha's teachings relate to personal and societal transformation. Retreat participants will learn to rebel against greed, hatred, and delusion through the meditative practices of mindful investigation and compassionate action. Teachings on the Buddhist path to freedom will be offered and meditation instructions will act as a guide in the upstream journey to liberation.
The retreat is suitable for both beginners and seasoned practitioners.
