Ethics and Love in Interpersonal Life by Matthew Brensilver

๐ Big Bear Lake, CA + Online (hybrid retreat)
Big Bear Retreat Center
We live in a web of mutuality; the interpersonal realm is where the rubber meets the road in our spiritual practice. Our relationships – personal and professional – act like a magnet, pulling both our goodness and our pain to the surface. How can we draw on dharma principles and practices to enrich our interpersonal lives? How can others serve as mirrors for our inquiry into ourselves.
