Awakening the Heart
This workshop is designed to support us as we open to our own goodness and learn practices to awaken love in others. Based on timeless Buddhist principles, as well as key findings in modern neuroscience, we will explore how to cultivate and sustain certain wholesome states, which, through practice, become the perspective we embody.
By awakening our hearts, we have the power to affect both ourselves and others in a profound way. With practical and accessible exercises and teachings, we will explore the full spectrum of the awakened heart. We’ll discover ways to love ourselves and extend that love into our relationships so that we can truly delight in the joy of others.
During our time together, we will:
Study the science behind real happiness.
Discover healthier habits and beliefs through powerful awareness practices.
Embrace and be embraced by a supportive community.
Learn tools for a solid mindfulness practice.
Finally, we’ll explore freely expressing our capacity for compassionate action in a spirit of contribution. In this way, our own awakening heart becomes a gift to our troubled world. Join us as we practice and explore together!

Connecting Mind and Heart
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.

Equanimity: Finding Balance in Difficult Times
A Hybrid Weekend Retreat with James Baraz
Equanimity or Upekkha is a highly valued quality in Buddhist teachings. It is listed in the Four Divine Abodes, the Seven Factors of Enlightenment, and the Ten Paramitas. When highly developed it is the precursor to the experience of awakening. But what is equanimity? How can we cultivate it in our meditation practice? Even more how can we access it in our daily life, especially in times like these with so much uncertainty, fear, sadness, and suffering in the world?
Through periods of silent sitting and walking, meditation instructions geared to cultivating equanimity, talks and practice discussions, we will explore the development of equanimity in our formal practice and aspects of equanimity that can be applied pragmatically to our life off the cushion. This course is appropriate for both new and experienced practitioners.

Meditation, Talk by Eve Decker, Meeting Type: In-Person and Online
Mindfulness of Emotions
Turning toward our emotions with acceptance and care, rather than aversion, is part of the path of insight. Our practice entails both inner and outer wise response; mindfulness of emotions is an important aspect of inner response.
To facilitate connection with folks attending in person, the Monastery is opening its doors for us to gather 6:45-7:15 in the back dining room. We will share quiet conviviality! Eve's partner Diane will bring vegetarian wraps and request a small donation to cover costs. Please join us!

Whether you're a seasoned practitioner or new to meditation, this daylong retreat offers a space for quietly connecting to the stillness within.

Dana
This day is offered in the spirit of dana. There is no formal charge for the dana. Support for the teachers and our community projects is very much appreciated. The practice of dana that has kept the Buddhist tradition alive for more than 2,600 years in Asia. There is no "right amount" since each person's circumstance is different. The principle is that dana should be a source of joy to the one giving. The teachers share the teachings in this spirit of generosity. There will be an opportunity to offer dana at the event. The teachers gratefully receive the support of participants.
