Peace in the Eye of the Storm: An Insight Meditation Program with Lloyd Burton, Terry Ray & Wendy Zerin, MD

Discover the serenity we can always access within even the most challenging of circumstances.

Many storms—be they internal, interpersonal, national or international—beset us. Yet at the center of them all (and us) exists a calm, spacious peaceful place—the eye of the storm. Drawing on Theravada Buddhist Practices of insight (vipassana) and lovingkindness (metta) meditation, we will discover how to access and abide in our own inner sanctuary, a place where we can restore and renew ourselves. It is from here that we can move outward to meet the storms of our world with equanimity, compassion, open-heartedness and joy.

The meals offered to this program will be vegetarian and vegan.

Lloyd Burton is cofounder of the Insight Meditation Community of Colorado and Spirit Rock Meditation Center in Woodacre, California. Terry Ray teaches meditation through the Insight Meditation Community and at Naropa University. Both are graduates of the Community Dharma Leader Program at Spirit Rock Meditation Center.

Wendy Zerin, MD, an insight meditation practitioner since 1983, trained with Jack Kornfield at Spirit Rock and has been teaching meditation retreats worldwide since 1994.
