The Art of Being Human

The Art of Being Human
with John Seex

The Art of Being Human is an introduction to the Shambhala teachings and the practice of meditation. These teachings are based on the understanding that every human being has inherent kindness, confidence and wisdom that we can discover and express in our life.

You are invited to explore what it means to rest in your innate goodness. In these dark ages we can be constantly pulled out into panic/fear and doubt. When we can relax into what we are, we contact our inherent richness and can offer generosity and compassion to others. This is an experiential weekend with guided mindfulness/awareness meditation, walking meditation and sharing experiences to encourage you to relax and trust in your basic goodness, both in yourself and in the world.
