| Amidst the changing sands of experience, where do we find our ground? In cultivating a quality of wakeful presence that embraces each moment of our life with acceptance and wisdom, we can make intimate contact with the element of earth, the natural world, and the very nature of things, upon which our lives rest. The Buddha's teachings are an invitation to know what it means to ground our awakening in the midst of our life, to be deeply connected to our experience, and yet not bound by it. Insight Meditation practice on this retreat is supported by instructions, Loving-Kindness meditation, and walking together in the natural world. |
