Dear Friends,
This partially silent, Meditation-based Retreat will include all our usual practices: Meditation, Movement, Listening/Speaking (Focusing) and Conversation, with extra emphasis on meditation.
We see this as an opportunity to deepen your meditation practice (if you have one) or to develop a practice, (if this is your intention). Also, we will support those wanting to offer “Embodied Meditation” to their community, with more detail on what makes this approach unique along with helpful hints/steps. This understanding is helpful for all of us.
We will learn through potent poems, fascinating Zen stories (koans) and two days of silence, except during practices. Time for enjoyable and meaningful social interaction, plus our usual celebration at the end, will also be part of our time together!
The retreat begins Friday evening, Feb 27 with four full- days Saturday – Tuesday, and ends at lunch on Wednesday, March 4.
