The Activist’s Heart:
How to not burnout when the world’s on fire
w/ Francie Hunt and Sean Coyle
Saturday, April 11th, 2026
10am-5pm at WHMC
Learn more and sign up here: https://www.wildheartmeditationcenter.org/events/the-activists-heart-how-to-not-burnout-when-the-worlds-on-fire

It doesn’t take much effort today to see or find suffering within our communities and the world. In a day and age when it’s so much easier and accessible to distract ourselves from our pain and the pain of others, it is more important now, than ever, to train our hearts and minds to be able to bear witness to that pain, but to also not burnout and fall into apathy because of it. During this half-day retreat, we will focus on and take time to practice two of the four meditation practices called “heart practices” to help uncover the natural tendencies of the heart which help aid us in seeing and responding to our suffering and the suffering of others.

This workshop is suitable for anyone regardless of yourmeditation experience.
There will be a one-hour break for lunch.

Sliding scale $50-$150
No one will be turned away due to inability to pay.

AN IMPERFECT, IMPERSONAL, IMPERMANENT MEDITATION RETREAT
with Mikey Livid and Andrew Chapman
St. Mary’s Sewanee
770 St. Mary’s Lane
Sewanee, TN 37375
REGISTRATION LINK IN BIO

The retreat will be held in noble silence, creating an environment supportive of deep practice. Each day will include meditation instructions, Dharma talks, mindful movement, silent sitting and walking meditation, and group interviews to support your practice.

This retreat is open to both beginners and experienced meditators.

Our focus during this retreat will be vipassanā, or insight meditation. This is the practice of looking deeply into our direct experience with a mindful awareness. By observing sensations, thoughts, and emotions as they arise and pass, we begin to see the natural flow of life more clearly. This clarity supports us in meeting ourselves with wisdom and compassion, reducing suffering and opening space for greater freedom.

At the core of the Buddha’s teachings are the Three Marks of Existence: unsatisfactoriness, not-self, and impermanence. While hearing about these unavoidable aspects of life might sound daunting, putting these truths into practice can be a source of relief. They help us stop struggling against reality and begin giving life full permission to be imperfect, impersonal, and impermanent.
