Workshop Yoga & Meditation with Cory
Awakening the Four Boundless:
A Meditative Journey into
Equanimity, Loving-Kindness, Compassion, and Joy
Bree, 19,20, 21 september
I’m very excited to welcome my dear friend Cory Bryant back. Founder & director of Ashtanga Yoga Nashville.
Join Cory for a transformative weekend focused on exploring these great qualities on the mat, on the cushion and out into daily life.
Prijs: 225€ full weekend, je kan ook iaoart nschrijven voor de yoga sessies of workshops
In Sutra 1.33 of the Yoga Sutras, Patanjali beautifully articulates the essence of cultivating the four incredibly useful qualities of mind:
- maitri (loving-kindness) toward the happy,
- karuna (compassion) for those who suffer,
- mudita (joy) for the virtuous,
- and upekkha (equanimity) toward those who are not.
When we embody these qualities, our minds find peace and ease.
Join Cory for a transformative weekend focused on exploring these great qualities on the mat, on the cushion and out into daily life.
In the Buddhist tradition, this teaching is often referred to as “The Four Boundless” or “The Immeasurables,”
Through a series of engaging discussions and meditation sessions, you will learn
- what these qualities are,
- how they function,
- and effective ways to develop and express them fully in your life.
The Listen – Contemplate – Meditate framework will guide our practice, making these sessions accessible to everyone, regardless of experience level.
Schedule
We’ll end each session with a 15-25 minute guided meditation practice.
Friday- 18u-19u30
Dukkha is the Sanskrit word for “suffering” and is inclusive of all the many ways in which we struggle to manage life’s challenges.
In this session we’ll explore this concept of dukkha, what it means to meditate and how it is that the benefits of meditation on the mat, the cushion and in daily life can be amplified through engagement with The Four Boundless qualities of equanimity, loving kindness, compassion and sympathetic joy.
Saturday
8u30-10.30u
Mysore Class
11u-12u15
An introduction to The Four Boundless
We’ll dive into the teachings of both Patanjali and the Buddha to explore why it is that they both emphasized the importance of cultivating equanimity, loving kindness, compassion and sympathetic joy.
12u30-14u
Equanimity
This just might be the key to it all. In fact, we’ll be encountering this component of the overall “boundless” equation throughout the weekend because it’s this ability to maintain some level of impartiality that is just what we need to be our best loving-kind, compassionate, joyful self!
Sunday
9u
Guided Full Primary
11u30- 12u45
Loving Kindness & Compassion
Love is an innate quality of being alive. Seeded in our mutual desire to be happy. Shared by all beings, this is an aspect of ourselves that we can cultivate to the extent that it overrides the challenges we face and serves as a foundation for showing up with a kind heart in all situations. And compassion comes up all over the place these days, but what is its true meaning and how do we avoid running out of it? This and more will be the focus of this session as we continue to explore the power of meditation to cultivate our innate goodness.
13u-14u30
Sympathetic Joy
Being happy for others. Is it possible to rejoice in others’ success and not end up feeling depressed when it doesn’t come for us? We’ll explore what the Buddhist masters have to say and how it might enable our own capacity for expressing joy!
