This retreat is an opportunity for us to come together as an LGBTIQ+ community and care for ourselves: to remember who we really are and to recollect our true inner goodness. We will explore ways of sustaining a kind heart, a clear open mind, and a strong body. We will engage with the ancient teachings and practices offered by the Buddha that cultivate compassion, wisdom, and skillful actions.
Join us for an enlightening Garrison Institute Fellowship Forum featuring renowned philosopher, writer, and activist, Dr. Bayo Akomolafe, in conversation with Dr. Angel Acosta. This engaging session will explore the intersection of artificial intelligence and our spiritual imagination, offering a unique perspective on AI.
We’ve never been more connected and yet so divided. Just as technology brings us closer together, we are increasingly polarized, finding affirmation in online echo chambers rather than seeking common ground. Loneliness and isolation are fueling a global mental health crisis just as climate emergencies hasten hunger and the mass displacement of people.
Dekila Chungyalpa and Jonathan F.P. Rose will discuss psychological and emotional aspects of the environmental and climate crises.
Many of us are longing for an in-depth, in-person meditation retreat. This is a great opportunity to do so. Like last year, this retreat will focus on practices and teachings related to the path of the Bodhisattva, a body of teachings all about a compassionate and wise way of being in world in turmoil. This year we will focus on the theme of Confidence.
Join us for a conversation of Garrison Institute Co-founder Jonathan FP Rose speaking with Kate Raworth, Leonora Grcheva, and Erinch Sahan of Doughnut Economics Action Lab for a thought provoking discussion of Doughnut Economics, which asks the question- what is the goal of economics- and answers it with a purpose: social and ecological wellbeing rather than growth or many other economic indicators that we pay too much attention to.
