Greetings!
Registration is now open for our retreat with Greg Bender, which takes place two weeks from now, May 21 and 22. We will meet Friday night at our usual time and Saturday 10-5 with lunch and tea breaks.
Greg has been a practitioner for over 30 years and has been
encouraged to teach Mahamudra, a method of direct awareness in the
Tibetan Buddhist tradition. He writes of the topic for this retreat:
"By recognizing and cultivating a manner of being alive, awake and aware
in our world, we can embrace the gift of grace, its beauty, kindness,
love and compassion. By embracing and sharing grace we come into a
sense of joy which engages the world and brings comfort and abundance
for ourselves and others around us.
We will discuss the ideas around awareness, grace and joy, contemplate their experience and through meditation open the gate of
possibility."
Greg is in solitary retreat in New Mexico for the two weeks prior to his
visit, so we will be fortunate to catch the fresh rays of his
experience. While in retreat, he is taking the opportunity to blog
sparingly at Ken McLeod's ning site. You can get a good sense of where
he comes from by reading his musings. Read Greg's retreat blog here.
We are going to keep this retreat focused and intimate, so space is limited. Please register as soon as possible if you're interested so we can get a good head count.
