In this 3-day retreat we will be exploring uncovering natural being. This is a gentle and potent system of practice rooted in East Asian Buddhism as well as Early Taoism. This embodied practice helps restore natural balance to body and mind, and helps restore the sense of integration with the world.
The retreat will include:
Learning to practice and find ease in various postures as well as moving between them.
Cultivating gentle, effortless continual awareness.
Natural entries into non-production and emptiness.
Simple integration of the transcendent with the mundane.
Making friends with body, mind and the world.
Qigong and daoyin
Restorative forgiveness practices.
Exploring how to live naturally, regardless of our surroundings.
