Along with the gifts of a human body come inevitable experiences of physical discomfort: from daily aches to illness, aging and chronic pain. In this daylong workshop, we will explore how to work skillfully with body pain, and how practicing wisely with pain strengthens the heart and can be a doorway to release.


The workshop is designed for those living with pain, for care-givers and those working with people in pain, as well as for all practitioners who are interested in this topic.


This workshop will include silent meditation in all four postures -- sitting, standing, walking and lying down -- as well as guided movement, reflection, dialogue and practical tools for working with pain.
