SUMMARY:Meditations for Craving and Addiction (half day retreat\, registration required)
DESCRIPTION:Craving and Addiction: Half-Day Retreat with Modern Buddhism Teacher Jill Cagney 1:00pm-4:00pm \nEveryone experiences the pain associated with craving and attachment\, and many people suffer from some type of addiction. \nThrough exploring Buddha’s profound teachings and meditations we can learn how to overcome compulsive ways of thinking and acting that compel us to seek satisfaction from deceptive sources. \nWhether you struggle with food\, intoxicants\, social media\, relationships\, or any form of addictive behavior\, this retreat will help you gain insight into these pervasive and painful mental habits. Through deepening our understanding and experience of Buddha’s timeless wisdom\, we can gradually transform these uncomfortable minds into the path of spiritual development. \nRegistration Link: https://www.meditationinasheville.org/meditations-for-anxiety-johnson-city-tn/ \nCost: course fee is 30.00 per person \nLocation: Meditation/Classroom space\, 2nd floor \nAbout the Teacher\nModern Buddhism Teacher Jill Cagney \nJill has been practicing Buddhism since 2006 when she began attending classes at KMCNYC in Manhattan. She moved to Knoxville TN in 2018 and found the Je Tsongkhapa Kadampa Buddhist Center during the pandemic.  She enrolled in the foundation program and is very excited to be a part of the Je Tsongkhapa Sangha in Asheville\, NC.  Jill is a social worker\, mother of two and an occasional singer-songwriter.
