Greed, Aversion and Delusion, collectively known as the three poisons, are mind states that cloud the heart and mind; separating us from each other. But these energies contain information that can lead us to a deep healing that can mitigate the chaos of the world.

Toni Morrison wrote, “I know the world is bruised and bleeding. And though it is important not to ignore its pain, it is also critical to refuse to succumb to its malevolence. Like failure, chaos contains information that can lead to knowledge, even wisdom. That is how civilizations heal.”

By clearly recognizing these three poisons, we can meet them with their antidotes of generosity, metta and wisdom. Generosity can expand our ability to feel connected and remind us that we belong to each other. Metta opens the heart protecting us from both inner and outer harm, while wisdom allows us to see things right sized as we move through the world.

This will be a daylong program which will include periods of seated, walking, standing, and lying-down meditation instruction and practice, dharma reflections and discussion, and gentle movement to nourish our bodies. The schedule will be spacious, allowing folks time to digest and know this practice for themselves. This program is open to folks at all levels.
