Program Description:
This land-based retreat offers a return to natural rhythms and a return to our own inner landscapes. Recognizing the time-honored need for quieting the mind, it offers a safe and supportive setting for reconnecting with the inherent intelligence of the body, psyche and spirit. This retreat will incorporate the powerful practices of both Grof Holotropic Breathwork and the time-honored shamanic journey in which we will seek out the healing influences of animal and spirit guides and cultivate the power of inner vision. Our deep journey experiences will be supported and enriched through the use of council, mindfulness practice, self-expression through art and writing, guided time in nature, and sacred ritual. The intention is to listen to the subtle wisdom of Spirit, awaken our creative spark, and discover ways to embody this inner knowledge in everyday life. This retreat will be of value to those interested in personal regeneration, enhanced creativity, and wellness, and heightened spiritual awareness. It is an excellent adjunct to therapy, as well as a powerful method of self-care for helping professionals. Theoretical material related to the psychotherapeutic application of both the 'transpersonal' perspective and shamanic worldview will be included.

FRESH BREEZE ZEN RETREAT

Program Description:
"Suddenly I realized for myself the fresh breeze that rises up when the great burden is laid down." Fayan
A meditation retreat is a time we deepen and refresh ourselves through intensive spiritual practice. A retreat includes sitting and walking meditation, dharma talks and a koan seminar, private meetings with the teacher, yoga and chanting, work practice, vegetarian meals, and free time for wandering. Most of it is silent. Though the forms of the retreat are grounded in traditions inherited from East Asia, we've evolved ways of practice that are more natural for many Americans. Some previous experience with meditation is helpful. Awakened Life emphasizes companionship on the way, inquiry and openheartedness, and the confluence of koans and creativity. Enlightenment as a conspiracy of friends.
