HOME AS SANCTUARY

You are invited to join us to bring your attention close in, to the intimate spaces of home: to consecrate the structures of body, mind, shelter, and close kin with intentional home-based practice.

Through the Home as Sanctuary retreat, we will reclaim, fortify and vivify our familial, collective and personal spaces. We will cultivate greater depth through clear intentionality, social and mystical practices and intimate connections with others.

The Vital Way - Part 2

An Introduction to the Fresh and Ancient Path of Zen. Our intention for this class is to engage the Buddha Way by studying and more fully experiencing the self.

Zazen (Zen meditation) is the primary practice of realizing and expressing our inherent awakeness.

Before engaging in this practice, we will explore our human ways of experiencing - how we take perspectives, and how our senses, thoughts, feelings and emotions operate.

With this preparation, we will be well equipped to plumb the depths of who we are through through the practice of zazen.
