Free Your Heart

August 12, 2017 @ 9:30 am - 5:30 pm

Led by Spring Washam

The potential exists in every human being to love without defenses or fear, so that true intimacy – direct, unobstructed, heart-to-heart connection with ourselves and others – becomes a way of life. We can learn to share, one heart to another, through the power of unconditional love. We can become more whole in ourselves so that we can be energized and empowered on our paths. Barriers to authentic connection occur due to unconscious fears that are rooted in the past. This workshop will provide safe, nurturing space to explore those fears and barriers. The workshop will include powerful interactive group processes, periods of meditation, sacred music, movement, and group discussion.

Spring Washam is a meditation and dharma teacher based in Oakland, California. She was trained by Jack Kornfield and now leads Vipassana and Metta retreats throughout the country. Spring is one of the founders of the East Bay Meditation Center in Oakland where she teaches daylong retreats and weekly classes. She is also a member of the Spirit Rock Teachers Council. Spring is considered a pioneer in bringing mindfulness based healing practices to inner city communities. In addition she has extensive training in indigenous healing practices and works with students individually from around the world.
