Letting Go of Perfect
Catskills Getaway Weekend & Workshop
December 12 – 14 | Registration Open
Start your weekend getaway with our popular Food for Thought Friday evening series. In our Saturday morning workshop, learn how meditation can help us solve daily problems and find happiness. Spend your afternoon in our World Peace Cafe enjoying a World Peace latte or other specialty drink and homemade good. Explore 82 acres of woodlands and trails, or visit neighboring towns to check out the charm of the Catskills. On Sunday, set a peaceful tone for your return by coming to our Sunday Morning Series class with Gen Samten Kelsang. You can book all three for a complete retreat, along with accommodations, or come for any part of the weekend!
Saturday Workshop:
Put down “perfect”. In this workshop, we will discover how perfectionism stands in the way of self-honesty and stifles positive change. Through observing its pernicious effect on our mind, we will develop a strong wish to be free of its influence. We will then look at some essential meditations to drop unrealistic expectations, create a more gentle and generous approach with ourselves, and inspire an encouraging attitude to move forward into our life.
