Retreat Description

Appreciating the Liberating Gift of Anger

Anger often gets a bad rap in Dhamma communities, but anger is a normal and natural part of being human. We often blame anger rather than investigate the challenging nature of the moment. When we investigate it, however, we can see that anger can show up as a necessary aspect of being part of the human race. At the same time, anger can mask deeper avoidance of greed, hatred, and delusion. During this weekend retreat, we will explore these two distinctions of anger and navigate toward cultivating the wisdom and gift of healthy anger and abandoning unhealthy anger.

Teacher Dana: Your registration fee contributes to BCIMS being able to continue to offer retreats such as this. None of your fee goes to Tuere.

In the Buddhist tradition, teachings are given freely because they are considered priceless; in the Buddhist tradition we also practice dana, or generosity, by making monetary offerings for the teachings. Dana is not payment for goods or services rendered; it is given from the heart. Your generosity is a gift that supports not just the teachers, but also the Sangha, the larger Dharma community, and your own practice.

Voluntary donations (dana) for the teaching may be offered to Tuere on her website: https://www.tueresala.org/pages/dana

More information about how to offer Dana will be shared with those registered.

Recordings: The retreat will be recorded and the recordings will be shared with registrants about 24 hours after the recorded session has taken place. Please note we do not record any Q/A sessions or break out sessions to honour the privacy of those attending.
