Equanimity Retreat

Spirit Rock Event

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.

Spirit Rock Event: New Year’s Eve Ceremony &  Celebration

Spirit Rock Event: New Year’s Eve Ceremony & Celebration

New Years Eve Ceremony & Celebration: Presence, Belonging, and Intention

Spirit Rock Event

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.

Being Present for Your Life: Introduction to Mindfulness Meditation

An Esalen Institute Event

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: Brahma Vihara 4-Week Course Begins (Week 4)

The Four Buddhist Heart Practices (Brahmavihāras)

https://courses.spiritrock.org/sp/the-four-buddhist-heart-practices-brahmaviharas/

Why this course?

Stress, conflict, and uncertainty touch all of our lives. Too often, we long for balance, kindness, and ease but struggle to find them.

This course offers time-tested tools to cultivate resilience, deepen your relationships, and open your heart. The Four Brahmavihāras—Lovingkindness, Compassion, Appreciative Joy, and Equanimity—are timeless practices for meeting life with clarity and care.

By integrating these qualities, you’ll learn to respond to challenges with grace, steady your mind in difficult times, and nurture joy in yourself and others.

Whether your intention is personal growth, healing relationships, or discovering inner peace, this course provides a pathway to live with love, balance, and kindness—qualities our world needs now more than ever.

Connecting Mind and Heart
Jul
28
to Aug 8

Connecting Mind and Heart

  • Kreivilä Course Centre (Finland) (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

The Mind and the Heart are not separate. We’ll take this week of silence to explore and put into practice various skillful means to let go of unproductive habits of mind. We can then experience insights that heal, uplift and ultimately free us. This results in a clear, quiet mind and a relaxed open heart.

The retreat will consist of silent sitting and walking practice, meditation instructions, interviews with the teachers and dharma talks. The meditation techniques we practice are over 2,500 years old and are mostly based on the Theravada Buddhist tradition. Taking part in the retreat does not, however, require an adherence to Buddhism or any adaptation of personal faith.

Why take part in the retreat? What happens on a retreat?

The retreat is suitable for both beginners and experienced practitioners. Beginners have a chance to become familiar with basic meditation techniques and to see their effects clearly in practice, so a retreat is a good way to begin a meditation practice. For experienced meditators, a retreat is a great opportunity to deepen and clarify their practice under the guidance of qualified teachers.

Teachings are offered mainly in English. The daily routine consists mostly of sitting and walking meditation and also includes instructions for meditation, an evening talk, a working period and a voluntary exercise of mindful movement. The retreat is held in silence except during individual or group interviews with a teacher.

The retreat includes a daily breakfast, lunch and light dinner, all vegan. Participants stay in 2-4 person rooms. The retreat will take place at the Kreivilä course centre, which is located in Matku, near Forssa, on the shore of Lake Matkujärvi.
