with Anne Walter
Wednesday, December 31, 2:00 to 5:00pm, In-Person or via Zoom
Mark the end of 2025 along with a formal dedication of all good efforts from the year – and make a prayer-filled transition to the New Year through this mini-retreat either in-person in DGCEC’s Shrine Room or via Zoom. Anne will offer input on expanding our compassion muscles and making a commitment to non-harm, and we will share a number of meditation sessions together.
This mini-retreat is dedicated to His Holiness the Dalai Lama, for all who are expanding compassion and practicing nonviolence, for those who were killed in Louisville in 2025 or are suffering in war, and for anyone who is oppressed by injustice.
DGCEC offers this retreat as a year-end gift to the community, but we appreciate a donation to support the center’s compassion mission. Registration is required.
