Life confronts us every day with examples large and small of change and uncertainty. In the face of this reality, we are drawn towards certainty. We may assert certainty in the guise of clarity, confidence, safety, and truth. Often, an ego-need lurks just out of sight.

Meditation practice offers us a choice between false and fabricated certainties and living mindfully and accepting uncertainty. This workshop will explore this dichotomy. The workshop is suitable for beginners and experienced meditators alike.

Santikaro will offer three guided practices that foster recognizing and accepting change, recognizing the signs of fabricated certainty, and enjoying the inner freedom that emerges to support living a loving and compassionate life. Each practice will be followed by a debriefing and discussion. Our aim is to provide you with enough of a start to further develop these practices on your own. We hope, too, that you can apply the lessons and insights to all aspects of life. This workshop is suitable for beginners and experienced meditators alike.
