Description:
At times, Buddhist teachings and meditation practice may feel like an attempt to escape human life. Being born into this world can seem somehow wrong or undesirable. This can lead to a sense of mistrust in our bodies, our impulses, and in nature itself. But what if this path actually led to becoming more fully human, rather than escaping the human condition? What if liberation could be found through embracing our true nature as conscious beings, rather than taming it? With these concepts in mind, this daylong retreat will focus on the joy and beauty of birth, becoming, humanness, interconnection, and nature. Together, we will celebrate life.

All are welcome! No one will be turned away for lack of funds as space allows. For more information, please email Registration@spiritrock.org.
