Attachment, Love & Relationships

"Love never hurts - attachment does." - Venerable Robina Courtin

Join us for this half-day retreat (in-person or online) where we explore the true nature of love vs attachment.

Love often gets confused with attachment. But the latter is conditional, restrictive and claustrophobic. The former is open, expansive, and freeing. Together, we’ll explore how genuine love can be given freely without conditions, and learn practical ways to reduce unhealthy attachments and cultivate greater equanimity. Learn to identify and differentiate between attachment and love and empower yourself to create more authentic, joyful relationships.

Expect practical Buddhist tools, guided reflection and meditation, and space for questions.

We are embracing a sliding scale policy for this event, guided by the Buddhist principle of generosity and inclusivity. Samadhi is a charity, and we have suggested donations that help cover the cost of putting on this event and our day-to-day costs. Choosing the higher option includes a donation to support our activities for the benefit of all.

We firmly believe, however, that financial constraints should never be a barrier to participation. If the suggested amount is beyond your means, please choose the lower option or contribute what you can — every offering helps make this event possible for the collective good. Without your honesty and generosity, we wouldn’t be able to make this event happen!
