Description

This three-night meditation retreat is a unique opportunity to join with other healers* to replenish and re-source ourselves; to help us connect to the revitalizing and healing powers of nature, of community, and to return home to the natural radiance of being.   The retreat will be held mostly in silence, with periods of silent and guided meditation. Each day will also include some dyadic inquiry, as well as experiential group dialogue and discussion. This interchange of longer periods of silent contemplation with shorter sessions of intentional dialogue and discussion will serve to deepen and integrate our natural process of unfoldment.  * The term 'healers' includes a wide variety of guides and space holders:  psychotherapists, coaches, spiritual guides, yoga teachers, energy workers, somatic practitioners, and other related professions are all welcome.   This retreat will be limited to 20 participants, and our group will have the entire retreat center to ourselves.  ____________________________________________________________________________________________________  Dates and Times The retreat will begin on Thursday, April 20th at 5pm, and ends on Sunday, April 23rd after lunch.  Accommodations and the Retreat Center: Land of Medicine Buddha offers a variety of accommodations.  There are single rooms, double rooms, shared rooms for more than 2 people, single and double yurts, as well as tent platforms available. There is also a commuter option available.  Retreat participants will have full access to the swimming pool, sauna, and hiking trails and sacred spaces that surround the center.   Meals All meals will be provided. Land of Medicine Buddha serves wholesome and delicious vegetarian meals in their dining space.  Silence The retreat will be held primarily in silence. All participants are asked to maintain silence outside of normal meeting times during the course of the retreat. The silence allows for the group and each participant to deepen into stillness and for the usual tendencies of our minds and behavior to relax and settle. The first meal on Thursday evening (dinner) and the last meal on Sunday (lunch) will not be in silence.  Cost:  The total cost listed below includes all 3 nights of accommodation, all meals and facility use, as well as the retreat fee.   *The following are early bird costs.
