Mindfulness teacher Sharon Salzberg joins with Atman Smith, Ali Smith, and Andres Gonzalez of the Holistic Life Foundation to offer a virtual program exploring the depths, capacity, and meaning of love. Love is the most powerful force in the universe. Love is cohesive and attracting, and is not bound by space or time. Learn to get in touch with and share the infinite love inside of you with meditation, yoga, and additional contemplative practices.

In a world where division and polarization prevail, can love be known not as giving in, but as transformative? If conventionally, love is seen as weakness, can we come to understand it as a powerful force in seeking change?

How do we find balance in love amidst all of our relationships? How do we love in a way where we feel that we are not being taken advantage of? How do we know when to be compassionate and when tough love is needed? How do we love from our higher selves? How do we unconditionally love ourselves?

We will explore a myriad of practical tools to promote greater love in your inner and outer life:

• Connect with the reservoir of love within you

• Learn greater self-love and self-acceptance

• Meditation techniques to better understand relationships

• Learning to love with boundaries

• Cultivating greater love through loving kindness practice

• Yoga and breathwork to ground ourselves, reduce stress

Join us for this virtual retreat to develop the skills needed to cultivate love within ourselves, to better love ourselves, the people in our lives, and the world. No prior meditation experience is necessary to attend.

This virtual retreat will be conducted through Zoom on Saturday April 13, from 12:30 PM – 6:00 PM ET. The virtual retreat link will be emailed to participants within twenty-four hours of your registration. Please email us at events@garrisoninstitute.org with questions.
