A Benefit for Open Gate Sangha and Spirit Rock’s Scholarship Fund
Description:
We live in a world of ideas, assumptions, and ever-competing dogmas. To simply leap from one belief to another perpetuates the endless sorrow of humanity. There is no greater tool for conscious evolution than the art and spirit of inquiry.
Questioning our opinions, assumptions, beliefs, and ingrained identity is essential to all forms of spiritual transformation. To engage in the dynamic act of living with a questioning mind, grounded in the silence and stillness of meditation, is the doorway to transformation
of the heart and mind.
This daylong retreat will be an exploration of the art and spirit of inquiry and meditation, as we leap beyond the immense content of consciousness that humanity continues to accumulate. When we step out of this conglomeration of conditioning, we arrive at a freedom and love that is our own salvation, and the potential salvation of humanity.
As this is a benefit program, our “no one turned away” scholarships are not available for this specific program.

Description:
We make decisions every day—from seemingly inconsequential choices to larger ones that can affect the course of our life. How can the Dharma guide our choices to support integrity and both individual and collective well-being?
In this daylong program, we’ll explore a range of practical tools for making decisions that incorporate meditation, reflection, intuition, and inquiry. You’ll learn how to navigate the choices in your life with more confidence, clarity and ease, as well as how to find more balance with the results of the decisions you make. Our day will include periods of silent meditation, movement, writing, and interactive exercises.
Clinicians will learn several conceptual frameworks to understand the decision-making process; how to identify and strengthen key mental qualities that support making decisions; as well as guided practices to share with clients for making clear decisions.
All are welcome! No one will be turned away for lack of funds as space allows. For more information, please email Registration@spiritrock.org.

Open to self-identified women
Description:
Inspire your imagination and unleash your stories in an immersive day of creative writing, meditation, mindful movement, and embodied energy practices. Like meditation, writing is a powerful way to wake up to the ordinary and extraordinary moments of our human lives.
But for centuries, women’s stories have often been excluded from the spiritual canon – dismissed as too ordinary, too emotional, too wild, or too messy to convey awakening wisdom.
We’ll use embodied meditation practices to settle our minds and open our hearts to write from a deeper place. Mindful movement practices will cultivate inner listening and unclog pathways of creative energy. Writing prompts will awaken the river of memory and imagination.
Through sharing our stories without judgement or critique, we will connect with ourselves, each other, and the heart of life.
All those who identify as women are welcome.
All are welcome! No one will be turned away for lack of funds as space allows. For more information, please email Registration@spiritrock.org.

Continuing Education Credits: This program offers 6 CE credits for $60 for psychologists, health & wellness coaches, and California licensed MFTs, LCSWs, LEPs, LPCCs, and nurses, licensed by the APA, NBHWC, California BBS, or BRN.*
Please Note: This retreat is offered online only. We invite you to try this creative form of practice as we take care of one another and respond skillfully to COVID-19.
Description:
The art of forgiveness begins with connecting to the heart. The practice involves learning skills such as metta, mindful acknowledgment, and compassion. Practicing these skills enables you to free yourself from painful identification with past events.
This is a day to bring remorse or grief about past actions and move beyond feelings of guilt and shame. Likewise, if someone has wronged you, you will be guided toward holding them accountable without closing your heart. Additionally, forgiveness practice will move you toward clarity and acceptance for the ways you have let yourself down.
Practicing forgiveness allows you to move from a heavy, remorseful heart and a reactive mind to a heart that’s light but still feels regret and a mind that is calm and clear.
The day will consist of sitting and walking meditation, instruction in the art and practice of forgiveness, a forgiveness ceremony, and include periods of guided silent practice.
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:
The great love and sacred light that this season celebrates are found within our own hearts.

This evening will include chanting (call and response) and meditation. We will conclude with a beautiful candlelight ritual to honor the winter solstice.
Please have a few candles near your computer so that you can be warmed by and feel connected to the worldwide community that will be praying together for the healing of our world.

Description:
Arriving at the end of another intense year, let’s take a moment to pause, reflect, release from what no longer serves, and reorientate our intention for moving forward.
Our time together will open with an optional 1.5-hour Kuan Yin Compassion Ceremony. This practice aligns with the power of the non-dual Kuan Yin heart of deep listening and merciful response. The ceremony will include: a bowing practice, which can be adapted to all bodily capacities, chanting, Dharma reflections, undertaking vows, and an acknowledgement of the harm done to self and others, finishing with a clear intention to realign with the bodhisattva path.
You can also join us after the ceremony. The evening will continue with a Dharma talk, guided meditation, sharing of intentions for going forward, and offering a blessing and prayers for all, while welcoming in the New Year.
All are welcome! No one will be turned away for lack of funds as space allows. For more information, please email Registration@spiritrock.org.
