Retreat Description:
From one perspective, spiritual practice right now might appear to be a luxury. Yet, in the middle of the intensity of this historical moment, caring for our hearts is an urgency. Fear, stress and uncertainty make our minds very suggestible and can lead us down the rabbit hole of anxiety. But this moment is also acting like a magnet, pulling our goodness to the surface. This retreat is an opportunity to cultivate a sense of refuge, courage and love.

Home retreat can be transformative in ways we do not experience in residential retreats. It allows us to deeply integrate this spiritual path into our living space, creating the visual and temporal reminders of path and practice in our own home. We will, of course, be doing this together. In a time of isolation, finding community can be especially meaningful. Our retreat will provide a structured immersion in meditation practice, yoga practice and dharma talks, while allowing the flexibility to practice in a rhythm that accommodates your life. Please join us.

Date: November 28, 2020. 10:00am – 3:00pm PT

Description:

We are at a threshold of global transformation that is asking us to revisit some of the assumptions we have lived with in order to fashion a sustainable and just way of living. We are invited to look at the many blessings in our lives, as well as touch some aspects of our painful past—personally and collectively—that have brought us to where we are now. As we ask for forgiveness, it opens the gateway for more authentic joy and celebration.

This day retreat will include time for meditation, teachings, ritual, and inquiry in small groups to center our experience of forgiveness and gratitude.

Dates: Sunday to Saturday, January 10 – 16, 2021 (7 days). A daily schedule will be posted closer to the retreat.
Sliding Scale: $280-$2100, PLUS a donation to the teacher(s). Code 232R21.

Retreat Description:
Metta, or loving-kindness, practice is the cultivation of the intention of benevolence as the orientation of our heart and mind. It is also a path to wisdom. We develop our capacity for metta through meditation (which is practiced steadfastly on retreat) in order for it to manifest in an ongoing way in our daily lives.

In this retreat, we will learn the formal practice of metta along with its companion practices of compassion, joy, and equanimity. All four of these practices – known as the Brahma Viharas or Divine Abodes – strengthen self-confidence, self-acceptance, and steadiness of mind and heart, revealing our fundamental disposition toward kindness.

All are welcome! No one will be turned away for lack of funds as space allows. For more information, please email Registration@spiritrock.org.
