Description: Many of us carry old and new wounds related to our addictive behavior. Over time, uncared for, these wounds become triggers for more unhealthy thoughts and actions.
On this daylong retreat we will focus on bringing lovingkindness and compassion to the addictive wounds of the past and present. We will look at how our addictive behavior tried to cover our wounds and learn to be more compassionate with our own pain. We discover that there is wisdom we can draw out of this compassionate looking.
Using mindfulness of the body, we apply somatic awareness to the living wounds. This opens us to healing painful emotional habits and patterns of thought through understanding and compassion.
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:
Throughout history, people have sought the heights of human potential—to become as wise, strong, happy, and loving as a person can be. Now, thanks to recent science, we’re finding how these remarkable ways of being are based on equally remarkable changes in our own nervous system. In this experiential workshop, we will explore how to strengthen the neural circuitry of deep contentment, lasting love, and profound inner peace.
No background in brain science or meditation is needed. In addition to the personal value of these practices, this material has practical implications and benefits for therapists and others in the helping professions.

Description: Thich Nhat Hanh said, “Compassion does not see the world’s pain and sorrow as other; it is shared and it is ours.” When you wince as you watch a child skin her knee, or when you witness a loved one’s intense grief, you know how visceral empathy can feel. When you give in to the urge to comfort the child or envelope your loved one in your arms, you are compassion in action.
We are wired for compassion. Not only does our heart quiver with empathy and compassion, but certain parts of our brain light up. Compassion in action is an antidote to our many fears, from eco-anxiety and racial injustice to sickness and loss. With compassion, we meet the world with shared vulnerability and humanness, feel wonder and connection to the earth and all beings, and find the energy to transform ourselves and do what is needed.

Description:
Inquiry, or investigation, is one of the seven factors of awakening, a quality that both leads to and expresses awakening. Inquiry can be a crucial factor in our practice, leading to greater aliveness, energy, interest, and wisdom, yet we may still believe that meditation should be about “not thinking.” In practice, we just initially need to not be ruled by thinking—which makes it possible to then use thinking and questioning fruitfully in the process of inquiry.
We’ll explore five modes of inquiry:
(1) bringing inquiry into our mindfulness practice in several ways
(2) listening deeply, particularly through the body and emotions, when there are repetitive thoughts and narratives, as well as difficult experiences
(3) using a core teaching to guide one’s practice
(4) radical questioning
(5) uncovering and transforming limiting beliefs
The day will combine short talks, guided inquiry practices, and discussion.
All are welcome! No one will be turned away for lack of funds as space allows. For more information, please email Registration@spiritrock.org.

Health in our body and clarity in our meditation increases as energy flows more freely through the spine. In this daylong we’ll learn five simple Qigong movements that awaken energetic wholeness in the spine and the entire body. We will experience how awakening the spine through Qigong is a valuable support and complement to mindfulness meditation.
These Qigong practices release spinal stagnation and open a profound circulation of energy. This promotes health and wellbeing in body and mind. Qigong and meditation bring a bright wakefulness and a concentrated, embodied presence that help us discover who we are beyond our stories.

Description: For over 2500 years, the extraordinarily resilient Buddhist feminine has carried the Dharma. As Maya Angelou said, “Because equal rights, fair play, justice, are all like the air: we all have it, or none of us has it.” Buddhist women have overcome barriers of culture, class, race, religion, and gender by following the natural inclination of their hearts to find enlightenment through the Four Noble Truths.
Their stories have the potential to help us find our heart’s liberation in the midst of the pandemic, climate trauma, and protests to bring awareness to issues of race and systemic injustice in our society. Our intention in this daylong is to find joy and freedom through our lived experience embracing our stories. With compassion, we connect to our inner sources of strength, peace, and empowerment, which enable us to both accept and transform what is needed in ourselves and the world around us.
