SUMMARY:Your Life is the Path: A Kripalu Program
DESCRIPTION:  \nYour Life is the Path \nBuddhist Teachings for Navigating Everyday Life with Vision and Love \nApril 11-13 \nKripalu \nLenox\, MA \nPlease join me for a special in-person retreat at Kripalu\, a beautiful program center in the Berkshire Mountains of Western Massachusetts.  \nAs winter slowly turns to spring\, let’s gather together for a few days of deep practice\, community\, and conversation about the very personal nature of the spiritual journey. \nIn Buddhist thought\, there are three paths to enlightenment. The monastic path and the cave dweller involve turning away from the distractions of everyday life. Only the third path—the householder yogi—involves turning deeply toward everyday life as a way to wake up. No matter how chaotic and uncertain life is\, there are practices to help you recover balance and sanity in the midst of it all. \nOn this weekend retreat\, we will explore the following:  \n\nMeditation as a spiritual practice rather than self-help \nA daily ritual to keep fiercely connected to your open heart\, clear mind\, and indestructible vitality\nSix transcendent actions to deepen your relationships \nFive steps to create a sacred environment\n\nWe will also explore the Heart Sutra\, an ancient text that connects you to wisdom beyond concept. It’s also the subject of my most recent (very short!) book\, Inexplicable Joy.  \nReturn home understanding how to make everyday life an expression of your spiritual practice. \nAll the details\, including a comprehensive schedule\, are here. \nI hope to see you there! \nWith love\, \nSusan \n  \nPS The food is great. Just saying.

SUMMARY:Free Info Session about an upcoming course: Inexplicable Magic
DESCRIPTION:Register here for the free 60-minute info session.\nHow to bring more sanity to the world\nApril 15\n6pm – 7pm ET\nAt this time of uncertainty\, it can be difficult to imagine what you or I could do to stem the tide of pain and anger. While it’s true that we can’t mandate a positive direction for the events of the world\, we can mandate a positive direction for our world. We can settle our minds. We can order our environment. We can express care for those we encounter; for our loved ones\, friends\, neighbors\, communities. We can actually–slowly\, slowly–do our part to shift the balance away from insanity and cruelty to sanity and decency.  \nIt seems that it begins by reestablishing agency within our own minds and hearts. Rather than having our attention yanked hither and yon by social media\, news apps\, and the constant invitation to freak out\, we can decide when and what to pay attention to. In this way\, our actions to create real change come from a place of strength rather than desperation. \nIf this sounds like some kind of magic\, that is because it is. The magic of remaining awake. Of continuing to care. Of continuing to move forward against very strong currents of hatred and confusion. It begins with\, you guessed it\, a strong meditation practice.  \nDon’t take my word for anything I just said. Please come to a free info session where I will make seven suggestions for establishing and strengthening your world so that it shines a bright light into the world–which needs your light now\, more than ever. I’ll also share details of my upcoming four-week course by the same name.  \nPlease register here.  \nIf you can’t attend live\, you’ll receive a link to the recording.  \nThose who attend live will also have a chance to sign up for a post-info session one-to-one Zoom conversation with me to talk further about Inexplicable Magic.\n(10 15-minute slots will be available from April 17-21).  \nI hope to see you there.
