The topic will be Freedom in the Face of the Eight Worldly Winds: Pleasure/Pain, Gain/Loss, Praise/Blame, Fame/Disrepute. We will investigate these eight winds, how they manifest in our live/minds, and examine what it means to have a heart open in the midst of all things. We will focus on developing the qualities of groundedness, spaciousness, mindfulness, equanimity and compassion. Heather began teaching in 1999. She has completed the four-year Spirit Rock/Insight Meditation Teacher Training, and sits 1-3 month retreats every year for almost the last 15 years. Join us immediately after the retreat for a potluck. Any children and their adult relatives are welcom to attend. Contact Blair O'Gorman at jbogorman@gmail.com, or 775-786-7842
