Equanimity is a culmination of practice where the mind is steady, contented, and undisturbed. It’s the opposite of being agitated or overwhelmed. One traditional simile is being supple like bamboo so we can bend in the wind and not break. It’s ultimately about giving up any struggle with how things are in this moment. When we can rest in equanimity, we find a kind of well-being and happiness which is not so dependent on circumstances because it’s generated from within. It’s not so easy to do, so we have this whole path of practice to support us.

Mettā Retreat: Teachings and Practices to Cultivate a Wise, Compassionate, and Resilient Heart
12 CE Credits. Registration Open. This retreat focuses on the cultivation of mettā, or lovingkindness—the development of a heart grounded in goodwill toward oneself and all beings. Through sustained practice, we train the heart in kindness, drawing on mindfulness to recognize and soften patterns that limit the heart. While centered on mettā, we also explore compassion, appreciative joy, and equanimity. Held primarily in noble silence, the retreat includes guided meditation, Dharma talks, and meetings with teachers.

In this retreat, we will practice mindfulness through stillness and movement meditation, as well as through lectures and the opportunity to meet with teachers who will guide our practice. While rooted in the Buddhist practice of mindfulness, this retreat will also focus on the practical applications of mindfulness and the range of ways to practice it.
