Classes and Events with Eve Decker - Winter 2024

Daylong Retreat Balance and Compassion: 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. More information/registration coming soon.

Appreciation:

"Eve’s voice singing the Dharma… reached me deeper than words have ever been able to reach. The energy I felt was a connectedness to all things. Compassion and letting go resonated deeply though my body... By adding her musical abilities to her toolkit of experience Eve Decker is an insightful Buddhist teacher and talented artist."
– Janet Etter, Victoria Insight Center, Canada

"Eve’s songs are often just what I need to remind myself of the truth inside. They’ve been a big part of my daily life practice to inspire and open my heart. I love Eve Decker’s music!"  
– James Baraz, founding teacher of Spirit Rock Meditation Center, creator of the Awakening Joy course and author of “Awakening Joy.”
