Addiction, Attachment and Desire

Working with Dissatisfaction

We can all see the need to work on our anger and ignorance, but somehow it seems normal to have, and even cultivate, desire. Being attached to a person, place, work, or whatever, seems to be honored in our culture, so first we need to see how giving into to it out of habit causes suffering. Join us for a day of exploration of how attachment and desire, and even addiction which is just a stronger form of attachment, cause suffering, yet can be reduced and eliminated altogether.
