SUMMARY:July Day of Mindfulness: Great Love and Letting Go
DESCRIPTION:Update: This day of mindfulness is now at capacity\, so we are no longer accepting reservations.  \n\n\n\nYou are invited to a Day of Mindfulness Hosted by Potluck Sangha \n\n\n\nJoin us for a nourishing day of mindfulness dedicated to exploring the depth and freedom of Great Love—a love that is spacious\, wise\, and liberating. Rooted in the teachings of the Buddha and inspired by the insights of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh\, this day invites you to touch the heart of love through presence\, reflection\, and gentle practice. \n\n\n\nThe Buddha taught that true love has four essential elements: lovingkindness (metta)\, the ability to offer gentleness and well-being; compassion (karuna)\, the capacity to be in touch with suffering and the wish to alleviate it; joy (mudita)\, the delight in the happiness of others; and equanimity (upekkha)\, a balanced\, steady openness of heart. Thay Thich Nhat Hanh offered a beautiful insight in translating equanimity as inclusiveness—a love that embraces all without discrimination\, that does not cling\, exclude\, or take sides. \n\n\n\nWhat does it mean to experience equanimity as inclusiveness? How is equanimity deeply connected to letting go? How is letting go an expression of true love? \n\n\n\nThis day will invite us to reflect on the willingness to love without needing to hold on\, to care without needing to control\, and to be present without needing things to be different. It is the courage to allow change\, impermanence\, and uncertainty—and still remain open-hearted. This is Great Love: a love that liberates rather than confines. \n\n\n\nPlease bring a bag lunch\, floor cushion\, and a yoga mat or blanket (for uncarpeted flooring) if you would like to lie down during deep relaxation/guided meditation. The room will also have chairs available.  \n\n\n\nThis retreat is now full.  \n\n\n\nCome as you are. Leave lighter. \n\n\n\nQuestions?  \n\n\n\nV (veronica.riglick@gmail.com) or Tamar (tlxenoch@icloud.com) \n\n\n\nPlease note the late morning start time! \n\n\n\nThis will be held a the Rossmoor Gateway Clubhouse: 1001 Golden Rain Road\, Walnut Creek\, CA 94595\, in Multipurpose Room 3 \n\n\n\nRides from Rockridge BART station can be requested. (Rossmoor is a 20-minute ride from Rockridge station.)
