Exploration and discussion of well-known obstructions to practice. Discover the joy that naturally arises when we transform ostensible meditation obstacles into meditation objects.
As anyone who has tried to establish a meditation practice knows, the “Five Hindrances” can envelop and colonize the mind, making meditation and living our wisest life difficult. This daylong explores how to skillfully work with sensual desire, aversion, sloth & torpor, restlessness & worry, and doubt using mindfulness and antidotes. We practice how to turn these potential stumbling blocks into stepping stones to greater ease and happiness.
