Commitment and Connection: A New Year’s Retreat

January 3 - 5, 2025

Friday 5pm to Sunday 1pm

 

What does it mean to be entering a New Year? One the one hand, as humans, we are simply pinning a tail on vast space and calling it ‘time’. On the other hand, a New Year can have very significant implications in our lives and the lives of those we love.

How do we live both truths? This is a practice of staying connected to our fundamental nature, which is expansive and unconditioned. It is a practice of cultivating trust through commitment to practice and connection with Sangha and teachers.

What will the New Year bring? Together let’s rest in open possibility and a ‘don’t know’ mind. This is not the ‘don’t know’ that is dark and confused, but the Don’t Know that is flexible and awake, alert to our moment to moment direct experience.

 

This is both a workshop and a meditation retreat.
