Online: Living in Our Money Driven Society – Navigating a Path to Awakening
with Gina LaRoche
Saturday, January 29th, 2022 | 10:00am – 5:00pm ET
How does one translate the Buddha’s teachings into their modern life?
How does one practice renunciation with a rent/mortgage payment looming?
How does one handle mental states of scarcity when they arise in practice?
Join author, entrepreneur and meditation teacher, Gina LaRoche for this daylong retreat to investigate our stories, secrets and relationship with money.
Using the 10 Paramis as a framework, we will create a path of awareness within the realities and constraints of our day-to-day lives. Come, and join us in practice as we reflect and explore how to live an ethical life and investigate a path to awakening while living in our modern world.
