Compassion and Resilience in Our Times

A tall, white statue of Quan Yin, the Bodhisattva of Compassion, against a serene blue sky. The statue is intricately detailed, showcasing Quan Yin in a standing pose, with one hand raised in a gesture of blessing while the other hand cradles a small object, symbolizing compassion and care. Her facial features are serene, embodying tranquility and kindness. She wears flowing robes adorned with delicate patterns that accentuate the elegance of her form. Above her head, a smaller figure is depicted, representing the sacred quality of her being. The soft lighting around the statue enhances its divine appearance, and gentle clouds can be seen in the background. Image by Thúy Đỗ from Pixabay.

An in-person daylong retreat
with Jeanne Corrigal

Saturday, January 23, 2027
10:00 am – 4:00 pm
Saskatoon Unitarians, Saskatoon

Compassion has qualities of wholeness, openness, spaciousness, and the capacity to meet suffering without being shattered. Self-compassion builds inner strength through loving acceptance and care. Together, compassion for others and self-compassion support resilience and equanimity in these times. Quan Yin is known as a manifestation of compassion, and this retreat will include a special Quan Yin chanting ceremony, calling forth compassion for ourselves and all beings.

This day will include instruction, dharma reflections, practices, nourishment, and community practice. Everyone is welcome.

Please bring a mat for lying down meditation.

This retreat is offered through mutual generosity. When you register, there will be an opportunity to pay a registration fee to help SIMC cover our administration costs. During the retreat, we will provide information for those who are able to offer financial support to Jeanne.
