 Eve Decker

Experience a replenishing weekend of teachings with Dharma teacher and musician, Eve Decker who will lead an experiential two-day retreat of sitting and walking meditation, listening and participating with dharma-related songs, and deepening our connection to the teachings of the Buddha.
This retreat is suitable for both beginners and experienced meditators.
Buddhist teachings, including the practice methods of mindfulness and lovingkindness offer us a doorway to refuge and peace, found in the present moment. This weekend offers rest, reflection and learning through meditation, music, and Buddhist teachings such as the four Noble Truths, impermanence, and compassion.

About Eve:
Eve is a long-term student of the dharma and teaches in the San Francisco Bay area. She began practicing Vipassana/Insight Meditation and Metta meditation in the early 1990s. She trained in mindfulness based social action through the two-year Path of Engagement program and in 2012 became a certified Community Dharma Leader.  Both programs are offered by Spirit Rock Meditation Center, California.

Eve is also a performing artist. She co-founded and toured with the American feminist folk trio Rebecca Riots from 1993 – 2009.  In 2006, Eve released a solo CD, “Commentary on Perfections of the Heart”, 10 original songs based on the Buddhist teachings of the Ten Paramis.  She has recently released a CD, “Simple Truth”, a culmination of years of inner exploration of her meditation and music practices.

Participants at Eve’s retreat with Victoria IMS in 2012 asked that Eve return to Victoria. Many found a new pathway to the teachings through the combination of music and instruction.

Eve will perform on May 23rd, at the Garry Oak Room, Victoria, BC  7pm.
