It seems to me that we all have a great need for a place of refuge. But sadly the difficulties of today’s world can invade our consciousness at any place and at any time, mainly because of the Internet. It may not actually be harder to find the time and means to live in a positive way these days, but it sure seems like it.

To help counter this, in our workshop we will explore the topic of refuge. What is it actually? Is it just running away? What does it mean to take refuge? And what can spiritual traditions tell us about the state of refuge?
