West Philly Insight

We're so excited to offer a second daylong retreat, this time practicing with the reality of impermanence. We'll explore questions like: How do we relate to the constant endings and losses that are so fundamental to life? What can we rely on when everything is always changing, and nothing stays? Where can we find relief? How do we love and let go?

That nagging, pervading sense of not-enoughness can follow us everywhere. We think we can free ourselves from it by trying harder, working harder, beating ourselves into betterness, getting smarter, or purer somehow. During this daylong retreat, we'll sit together and see if there might be a different kind of freedom possible. You can find more information and register in the links in our bio.
