About the event
Join us this Fall for a transformative four-day retreat series exploring the heart practices of compassion, love, joy, and equanimity through the lens of African wisdom, particularly the philosophy of Ubuntu. Each day will feature silent and guided meditations, a mindful meal, movement, and drumming. We will join in a talk led by the Braided Wisdom Sangha and Nobantu Mpotulo, exploring the intersection of African spirituality and Buddhism. Ubuntu promotes non-duality, inviting us to connect deeply with all beings, seen and unseen, and bring the Brahma Viharas to life.
Join us on September 21, September 28, October 19, and October 26 from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Whether you can attend a single day or all four, you are warmly welcome!
