Tender and Steady Heart Day Long Retreat
Details
This daylong retreat invites us to cultivate a tender and steady heart through embodied mindfulness and the classical heart practices of lovingkindness (mettā), compassion (karuṇā), and equanimity (upekkhā). Grounded in the Insight Meditation tradition, the day will explore how these qualities support us in meeting the fundamental conditions of human experience — impermanence, unsatisfactoriness, and non-self — with greater ease, clarity, and care.
Through periods of guided and silent meditation, mindful awareness of the body, and Dharma reflections, we will explore how reactivity softens when experience is met directly and kindly. As we attune to the changing nature of sensations, emotions, and thoughts, the heart learns to steady itself, and insight arises naturally from embodied presence. This retreat is suitable for both newer and experienced meditators and supports bringing heartful awareness into daily life.
Douglas Pullin (he/him) has been teaching at PIMC since 2004. He is a lineage holder and authorized to teach in the Insight Meditation tradition of U Ba Kin and Ruth Denison.
