Description

In the Conference Center at 308 Page Street

Every relationship includes conflict and change. However, many relationships hold conflict and change in spaces formed by habits and preconceptions, misplaced anger and fears. When held in such a way, conflicts blaze, destroy, or freeze, creating barriers to the living cultivation of intimacy.

In this workshop, we will study how Zen practice trains us to hold any barrier as a gateway to increased intimacy. How does our practice help us negotiate a way of being together founded on loving-kindness? How do loving-kindness practices help us build containers that adapt to change, transforming our times of conflict to times of curiosity, intimacy, and growth?

This workshop is also offered online.

David Richo's books are available through the SFZC Online Bookstore.

Please bring your own vegetarian bagged lunch.
