Suffering is Optional
Course with Diana Petech
Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional. This retreat, based on personal experience, is especially for those facing chronic illnesses or any kind of chronic pain condition; helping professionals may also benefit. We will deepen the teachings of the Arrow Sutra (Sallasutta), learning how to distinguish pain from suffering, how to “deconstruct” suffering and to find ways to let go of the feelings which contribute to creating it. We will learn ways to overcome suffering, and maybe also reduce our pain, with guided meditations, relaxation techniques and mindfulness practices for the daily life.
