Focus Area: Cultivating Mindfulness & Compassion
Cultivating Curiosity, Connection, and Compassion
Curiosity is a skill we can cultivate to help us overcome the disconnection and division that is so common in our daily lives. In this process, we may experience a better sense of well-being and a deeper connection to our common humanity. In this 3-hour in-person retreat, we will explore our relationship to curiosity, and practice ways to enhance this quality in relationships with others.
Drop-In Session: Cultivating Curiosity
Curiosity is a mindset we can work with to deepen our mindfulness and compassion, for ourselves and others. In this drop-in, learn how we can enhance our curiosity, then participate in a 30-minute guided meditation. This session will end with some time for questions and sharing.
