Making Friends with Life, 1-Day Retreat with Pir Shabda Kahn

10/26/2024 @ 9:30 am - 9:00 pm

$20 – $101

Making Friends with Life
Manifesting Loving Kindness and Compassion
Pir Shabda Kahn
supported by Maitreya Jon Stevens

1-Day Retreat   Saturday, October 26th, 9:30am-9:30pm
Everning Dances, 7:30pm-9:30pm (Open to the Public)
Group Middle Eastern Lunch & Thai Dinner (Not included)

Another name for this Realization is Perfect Relaxation. All problems are of a tense nature. So anything that arises in life which disturbs our Peace has come as our Teacher saying until you learn to have Peace in this situation you have further to Journey to Awaken. We will practice “Making Life the Teacher”.

Further, if we reflect deeply, nearly all the problems of the day are caused by our disturbing emotions; fear, anger, jealousy, hatred, pride and so on. Naturally then, Loving Kindness and Compassion are the antipode for the world’s problems. We will work on nurturing Loving Kindness and Compassion toward self and other.

Our retreat will include Dances of Universal Peace, breath, sound and meditation along with dialogue to help us in our service to support all beings in all realms, including our selves, to awaken.

Schedule:
8:30am – Coffee & registration
9:30am – 12:30pm: Morning Session
12:30-3:00pm: Community Lunch (Middle Eastern made by Sheikha Laila Manasra & Family, $10-20, pre-pay below)
3:00-5:00pm: Afternoon Session
5:00pm -7:30pm: Group Dinner at Bangkok Thai Restaurant close by (each pays their own)
7:30pm-9:30pm: Evening Dances (Open to the Public $20)
