This retreat will be focusing on developing mental resilience by applying equanimity to regulate our emotions that often take us through a life of emotional roller coaster. An equanimous approach to living will enable us to ride the waves of pleasant and unpleasant periods in our day with less reactivity. There will be no more bad days; we will be able to live life with more happiness.
