One-day Online Meditation Retreat
with
Margo McLoughlin
In this one-day on-line retreat we will look at two of the five spiritual faculties and reflect on their role in building resilience in challenging times. Faith gently reminds us to value and honour our practice of mindfulness in all circumstances. Faith also encourages us to deepen our resolve to understand the nature of suffering. Wisdom is the gift of clear-seeing that comes as we re-align our priorities, commit to non-harming and celebrate moments of presence and freedom. The poetry of resilience is the growing capacity to nourish and prepare the heart for whatever life brings.
