The Four Divine Abodes in Challenging Times: A 1-day Silent Retreat (Hybrid)

As we continue to endeavor in creating a just and liberatory world in these shifting times, the teachings on the Four Divine Abodes can help us stay centered and connected.

Qualities of Kindness, Compassion, Inclusive Joy, and Equanimity can be hard to access when there’s internal or worldly turmoil. Practicing guided meditations helps us to connect to and embody the qualities embedded in the four aspects.

Short teachings begin each Abode aspect, followed by two meditations with movement/walking in between: the first meditation is guided with the traditional categories, while the second is in complete silence for you to extend the embodied impacts from the guided meditation or as a time to send the qualities from that Abode aspect to a person or group(s) of your choosing.

We’ll end with a brief share on how our day of practice together with these Divine Abodes have strengthened a sense of “home;” for ourselves and for all beings.
