Nurturing The Open Heart Workshop +
Awareness in Everyday Life: Relationships PublicTalk
With Tergar Instructor Myoshin Kelley
October 3-5, 2014 - in Eugene Oregon
Awareness in Everyday Life: Relationships Supported by Wisdom and Compassion - a Public Talk
- Friday evening from 7 to 9 PM
We all long for healthy and meaningful relationships, and yet they are an area where we most commonly encounter difficulties. Relating with friends, family, coworkers, those we see often, can reveal aspects of ourselves we might not be so comfortable with, or we find that others trigger emotional responses that are overwhelming. If we engage our practice with these challenges we find that it can bring vitality to our relationships and help us to nurture the qualities of love and compassion. We find our practice can help set the ground for healthy relationships.
All are welcome so please invite your friends. This is a great introduction to meditation in everyday life.

Nurturing the Open Heart - A Weekend Meditation Workshop/Retreat
- Saturday & Sunday from 9AM to 5PM
In this weekend retreat, we will look at qualities of heart and mind that support us on the path of awakening. We will explore a set of practices known in Buddhism as the Six Paramitas: generosity, morality/ethical conduct, patience, joyful endeavor/effort, meditation and wisdom. In exploring these qualities as the natural expression of the awakened mind, we will learn how these practices support us in the here and now and enrich how we live our lives. This journey leads us beyond a limited sense of self to a heart that is open and at ease.
This event is open to the public - beginning and experienced meditators alike.
