Shambhala Training Level 3 - Warrior In The World
with Dede Gaston & Bill Gaston
Friday January 10, 7 - 9 pm
Saturday & Sunday January 11-12, 8:30 am-5:30 pm
When we become awake to our sense perceptions, we can venture into the world with confidence and vulnerability that is fearless, gentle, and alive. This is Warrior in the world. We can make an effort to bring the mindfulness and awareness cultivated during our meditation practice into all aspects of our daily life.
The warrior in the world leaves the stuffiness of the cocoon to explore the world with direct perception. This can be the beginning of a life-long love affair with the phenomenal world – not based on the reference points of hope and fear, gain and loss. Along this journey we develop genuine confidence, humour and personal dignity.
Friday evening meditation with the director and the opening talk. Saturday and Sunday will include include meditation instruction, talks by the directors, periods of sitting and walking meditation practice, one-on-one conversations to clarify questions, and group discussions.
A catered lunch is included on Saturday. There is a reception at the end of the program on Sunday.
Pre-requisite: Shambhala Training Level II "The Birth of the Warrior"
