Open to Self-identified Black, Indigenous, and People of color (BIPOC)

Description:
From the depths of our non-conceptual essence arises a knowing that cuts through our confusion and fragmentation. The historical perceptual distortions brought about by living within cultures of domination can be seen more clearly as part of our conditioned experience and not as defining the whole of what we are.

Through meditation, movement, and inquiry, we will explore  the richness of our ancestral and cultural heritage, referencing back to the profundity of our essential nature from which it arises.  The opportunity to receive each other across the amazing diversity of our cultural landscape brings about profound healing, broadens our understanding and deepens our humanity.

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

Description:
Our current world culture is wading through a time of unprecedented uncertainty, fear, and threat of violence and death. We must nourish the sacredness of our being and replenishment the strength of our heart if we are to fully face this suffering with wisdom and compassion.

Dharma practice offers us a way to develop a deep and abiding freedom, beyond external conditions and changing circumstances. During this silent home retreat, we will practice forms of sitting and walking meditation that invite us to follow pathways that settle the mind/heart.

The retreat will offer Dharma talks, group meetings with teachers, and mindful movement practices. These activities will be geared toward turning our loving attention to the internal wisdom needed to connect more deeply to the root needs of our own hearts, families, and beloved communities. This retreat is appropriate for both beginning and advanced practitioners.

Participants are asked to attend the full duration of the retreat.

“To allow oneself to be carried away by a multitude of conflicting concerns, to surrender to too many demands, to commit oneself to too many projects, to want to help everyone in everything, is to succumb to violence”.
Thomas Merton
