The Heart of Warriorship: Level I - The Art of Being Human
with Chuck Whetsell

September 5th: 7:00 PM - 12:00 PM
Price: $75, special refresher price also available (see below)

The Art of Being Human

Living as if each moment were fresh and new, renouncing warfare with both self and other, feeling the strength of one’s being and the tenderness of one’s heart – these are some of the hallmarks of being human. Although these qualities are innately part of who we are, many people have found it necessary to undertake a transformative journey to discover their true nature.

In Shambhala Training Level One, the Art of Being Human, we discuss the nature of this journey and offer some tools that can help anyone interested in touching the bedrock that lies underneath the accumulated conditioning of our lives.

 

Dates: Friday September 5, 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

Saturday September 6, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Sunday September 7, 8:30 a.m. until noon

New meditators are welcome. The weekend will consist of meditation instruction and practice, talks by the director, discussion groups, and individual interviews. The suggested offering for the seminar is $75. Please pay only what you can afford, and do not let finances keep you from attending if this program interests you.

About the Heart of Warriorship and Shambhala Training weekends

Shambhala Training is organized into five weekend workshops that include meditation training and practice, talks by senior instructors, personal interviews and group discussions. Levels I-V provide a strong foundation in mindfulness-awareness meditation practice, emphasizing the development of genuineness, confidence, humor, and dignity within the complexity of daily life. The workshops are recommended for new and experienced meditators, as well as for those looking to enrich their existing spiritual path.
