Classes and Events with Eve Decker - Winter 2025
Daylong Retreat: Lovingkindness for Self: A Pathway to Equanimity and Resilience with Eve Decker - Berkeley. In person and online. Sunday January 26, 9:30am-4:30pm PT.
This event is hybrid - both in person and online. The Buddha taught that when we can respond to whatever the present moment is offering with both acceptance and wise, compassionate action, we provide refuge for our hearts and emotions. This daylong retreat will offer practices of equanimity and self-compassion that will help us settle in the midst of things as they unfold, rather than become more reactive.
