Program Description:

COMING BACK TO LIFE is modeled after the legendary `Insight and Opening' retreats led over the last fifteen years by Stanislav Grof, MD and Jack Kornfield. These six-day retreats introduced thousands of people to the complementary nature of spiritual practice and deep psychological exploration. During this retreat we will make creative use of the Buddhist practice of mindfulness, depth psychology, and modern consciousness research to explore and enhance our human condition. This combination of methods has proven especially effective in facilitating emotional healing, as well as evoking a new sense of self and interconnection with nature and the sacred. This retreat includes Buddhist meditation practice, Grof Holotropic Breathwork, guided meditations, and integrative tools such as art and writing. The talks and discussions will present both traditional Buddhist views of self and reality, as well as information from evolutionary biology and psychology.
