| When living a full life of daily interactions and responsibilities, we can be swept up and swept away in a whirlwind of busyness. Feelings, body perceptions are easily lost; we lose touch. We can be separated from the immediacy of the moment. Entering a meditation retreat can allow us time to slow down, space to be with what arises and falls away, and create the conditions for calm to meet and be with life just as it is. And then, investigating the process of life unfolding, just perhaps, to meet our experience with greater ease.
Practices: The retreat will focus on openness to and intimacy with experience in the body and mind, meeting that which is already here, rather than striving to create something else. Receptive to both inner and outer phenomena, we will come together to live from a place of curiosity and discovery, to cultivate our ability to be stable, compassionate observers even if our lived experience feels like a rocky and stormy ride. |
