The Perfection of Patience:
Cultivating Wisdom in the Midst of Difficulty
Half-Day Retreat
Sunday, April 19
1:00 - 5:00pm in Point Reyes, $120
This half-day meditation and yoga retreat is devoted to the Buddha’s teaching on Patience, the sixth of the six perfections - the qualities that mature the heart on the path of liberation. In the Buddha’s words, “Patience is the highest austerity”, pointing to patience not as passive endurance, but as a profound expression of wisdom and strength.
Through Dharma teachings, guided meditation and mindful movement, we will inquire into how impatience shows up in the mind - and how patience can become a refuge rather than a struggle.
This retreat offers a supportive space to pause, reset, and reconnect with patience as a strength - one that allows us to respond to life with clarity, kindness, and greater ease.
