1440 Multiversity • REAL LOVE: KNOW YOURSELF • Weekend Retreat

As William James wisely explained, “Our view of the world is truly shaped by what we decide to hear.” Join Sharon Salzberg for this two day retreat and explore a gentle but thorough method to know yourself, connect with others, and stop your mind from getting in the way of the connection you yearn for.

To love ourselves, we must know ourselves. To love one another, we must know one another. But our assumptions, distractions, fears, expectations, and personal sense of unworthiness obscure these kernels of truth.

Whether you are a new or experienced meditator, you will benefit from explorations of:

• Core mindfulness and lovingkindness techniques and other meditation exercises
• How to move out of constantly spinning judgments about how we are fundamentally alienated from one another
• Guided meditations, talks, and time for questions and answers to dig deeper into the teachings
• Self-training techniques for learning how to “hear” more of what is out there and to “listen” less to limiting and often self-condemning thoughts along the way
• How to find a truer meaning of love for yourself, for your loved ones, for those you don’t know but with whom you share this planet—for all beings everywhere.
