Half-Day of practice on Saturday June 11 doing mindful movement and contemplating some Rumi Poems with Jim Dalton. For instance:
If you want to change the ways others treat you, you should first change the way you treat yourself, fully and sincerely, there is no way you can be loved.
Once you achieve that stage, however, be thankful for every thorn that others might throw at you.
Oct 2-7 - Hollyhock, BC, Canada.
Be fully alive. Let go of anxiety, self-criticism, depression, fear, and loneliness. You are not your moods, racing mind, compulsions, addictions or wounds from the past. Awaken to the love, compassion and joy that are your natural state.
Allow meditation to bring vibrancy, enthusiasm, connection, humour and awareness to every aspect of your life.
Oct 30 - Nov 4
Mindfulness (Vipassana) meditation is the art of being fully alive. On this silent retreat we will be mindful of every activity, from sitting in the meditation hall, to walking in the ancient forest, to bathing in the hot springs. You will go home with practices that will change your life. Suitable for beginning and experienced meditators.
Hello Friends,
There is a window between heart and heart:
They are never separate like two bodies.
Two lamps may not be united in their form –
But their light merges into each other.
No lover ever searched for Union
If his beloved is not also seeking him.
July 3 – July 15, Mountain Waters Retreat Centre
We are capable of great wisdom, boundless love, true compassion , and deep-seated ease. And yet all to often our human experience is clouded by painful moods, mental compulsions, addictions, and difficult psychological scripts from the past.
