Radical Friendship: Loving Yourself and Finding Your People in an Unjust World
 
with Kate Johnson
 
Sunday, February 9th, 2020 | 10:00am – 4:00pm
 

 
Systems of oppression impact our wellbeing, making it difficult for us to connect with ourselves and each other in authentic, meaningful ways. The Buddha’s teachings on spiritual friendship are good medicine for times of injustice, and can help us practice freedom even in unfree places.

Come and learn these time-honored practices of right relationship that remind us of our inherent wholeness and beautiful differences. Through guided meditation and accessible movement, journaling and discussion, we will explore how radical friendship can support us to restore trust, bridge splits and share joy. Join us solo, or bring a few friends. This Daylong retreat is appropriate to practitioners of all levels.
