# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Workshop 5: The Still Point – Sabbath, Equanimity, and the Urban Mystic
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 21 Jun, 2026 at 04:00 pm – Sun, 21 Jun, 2026 at 06:00 pm
- **Event Description**: In this session, we turn our gaze inward to discover the "still point" of the soul amidst the ceaseless motion of the city. We will explore how to build a sanctuary in the heart using the wisdom of ancient traditions:

✨ The Palace in Time: Drawing from the profound wisdom of Abraham Heschel, we explore the Sabbath not just as a day of rest, but as a "palace in time"—a sacred architecture we build with intention to liberate ourselves from the "conquest of space."

? The Hesychastic Stillness: We delve into the Eastern Orthodox tradition of hesychia (inner silence), learning how to descend from the analytical noise of the city into the hidden chamber of the heart.

⚖️ The Art of Equanimity (Upekkha): Moving beyond apathy, we explore the Buddhist practice of even-mindedness. We learn how to "climb the mountain" to gain perspective over the "eight worldly winds" of praise, blame, success, and failure, finding a center that remains unmoved by the city’s static.

⚓ The Still Point: We bridge the "fixer" mindset of the city with the "receptive presence" of the mystic. Whether you feel tethered by the burdens of your "to-do" list or scattered by the city's frantic pace, this workshop provides the tools to weave these forces into a purposeful existence.

Come as you are. Bring your questions, your longings, and your desire to find the "still point" that is already waiting within you. ✨
