Online daylong retreat Saturday, September 20, 2025
10am-4pm Pacific on Zoom

Too often our attention gets hijacked by things that don’t matter—what people think, whether they’re acting right, the endless little irritations. And, while we burn energy on that noise, we miss the deeper invitation: to align our hearts with what truly frees us.

During this daylong retreat, we’ll explore the power of skillfully giving a shit. We’ll explore how the Buddha’s Eight Worldly Winds—gain and loss, praise and blame, success and failure, pleasure and pain—keep us spinning, and how rooting ourselves in the boundless heart qualities opens us to a freedom that doesn’t blow away so easily.

We’ll spend the day together in practice, with meditation, a Dharma talk, and time for inquiry and discussion.  No experience needed. Just a willingness to pause, let go of some of the weight you’ve been carrying, and sit your ass down. No perfect people allowed.
