Bringing Emotions to the Path
With Senior Tergar Instructor Tim Olmsted
Garrison Institute, New York, USA
While our emotions often delight and invigorate us, when examined we find them to be fleeting and unreliable. On a subtle level, the emotions often obscure the abiding peaceful awareness that lies at the very heart of each of us. During this weekend retreat with Senior Tergar instructor Tim Olmsted, we’ll discover how to use the energy and richness of our emotional life as the foundation for the journey to awakening. We’ll learn to bring emotions to the entire arc of the path – as the basis for inner peace and equanimity, as a source of radiant compassion, and finally, as brilliant wisdom.
The retreat will be held at Garrison Institute, a peaceful oasis just one hour north of New York City. The retreat center is located on a bluff overlooking the Hudson River with grounds that offer trails, ponds, meadows, and the river itself. It is an idyllic setting for quiet contemplation.
Qualifications:
This retreat is open to anyone. Whether you have never done a retreat before or are a seasoned practitioner, this is a good opportunity to taste the benefits of sustained meditation practice.
