Spirit Rock Event: Daylong
Spirit Rock Daylong
Equanimity (upekkhā) is a highly-valued quality in Buddhist teachings. But what is it, and how do we cultivate it in our meditation practice? How can we access equanimity in daily
life, especially in the midst of uncertainty, fear, and sadness over the suffering in the world?
This retreat will offer instructions, talks, sitting and walking meditations, and practice discussions to support the development of equanimity in our formal practice. We can then
apply equanimity to our life off the cushion.
This retreat is silent except for teacher-led Q&A, small groups, or other practice meetings.

How much are you present in your own life? Most of us spend more time worrying about the future, replaying the past, or getting lost in fantasy than experiencing what life offers us right now. This moment is our opportunity to be directly intimate with our lives while learning, through difficult lessons, how to open our hearts.

Spirit Rock Event: New Year’s Eve Ceremony & Celebration
New Years Eve Ceremony & Celebration: Presence, Belonging, and Intention
As the year comes to an end, it is a special time to be in community, celebrate, and enjoy each other’s company, as we honor the truth of impermanence by letting go of what was, envisioning what might be, and gracefully open to what lies ahead.
Please join us as we reflect on this past year and the timelessness of the Dharma, and imagine a future that reflects our deepest aspirations. We’ll will be held in the refuge of the teachings and visualize how they can support us in our continued awakening to wisdom and love.
To help us celebrate we are delighted to have Wildchoir—an extraordinarily uplifting musical group—raise our spirits and move our hearts. Join us for Dharma reflections, ritual, fantastic music, and community. Bring your whole heart as our global saṅgha connects one more time in 2025. All are welcome for this joyous celebration.
