Holiday Retreat 2024-25: Cultivating True Happiness

CULTIVATING TRUE HAPPINESS

All of us have the capacity to be happy. We have seeds of compassion, understanding and love in us. We all have many good seeds of happiness and joy. Yet we also have the habit of running in us. This restless energy of dissatisfaction and struggle separates us from the present moment and from ourselves.

In part, we’re running toward something. We think happiness isn’t possible in the here and now, so we try to run ahead into the future. We think if we can just get enough power, fame wealth, or admiration from others, then we’ll finally be happy. We hope that if we run toward these things faster and harder, we will get to happiness.

This Holiday Retreat with mindful attention and deep looking, we can transform the painful habit of running into the habit of cultivating true happiness.

May we and all beings let go of the burdens we carry.
May we and all beings live light and free.

We also offer a children's program and a teen’s program during this retreat. Join us!

The onsite registration and commuter registration for the Holiday Retreat is full. The wait list is closed. Thank you.

Thursday, Thanksgiving Day of Mindfulness

On this plate There are many hands
The hands that sowed the seeds And the hands that tilled the land,
The hands that worked the harvest, and brought it to the stands.
Yes on this plate are many hands.

In this bowl Are sun and rain and air,
The garden's soil and all the tiny creatures that live there.
A delicate balance Of beings great and small.
Yes in this bowl we have them all.

In this food There are many souls.
Some may be our family Who served it in our bowl.
Some may be migrant workers Whom we will never know,
And can't afford to buy the food they grow.

In this room there are many hands.
Let's join them all together In a circle if we can.
And in this sacred silence Let there be gratitude
For the many hearts and hands that made this food.

-Many Hands by Jody Kessler
