Listening Mind, Thinking Mind

Description

Pricing
Description
It is not only possible to find peace amidst the turmoil and current insanity of our world, but fundamentally necessary for a healthy life. While everyone can benefit by developing a stronger connection with the present moment, many find meditation as it is traditionally taught to be challenging and even slightly ill-suited to their personal style. This program is designed to work with both established forms and creative alternatives to meditation as it is commonly presented, through which anyone can achieve genuine results. 

Listening Mind is the awareness that is always occurring. Paying attention to it tunes us into the present moment, a freshness that we can taste before we conceptualize experience. Come and explore this ever-changing naturalness on the beach, in the sky, sitting, walking and among friends!

This program is designed to provide a unique opportunity to retreat into the natural state of openness through guided periods of meditation, reading, and simple exercises. The retreat will be led by Roger Guest, a teacher and long-time meditation practitioner in the Buddhist tradition. Roger is the author of _THE TENDER HEART OF SADNESS_,  a commentary on teachings given by his own teacher,  the Venerable Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, published by Aventine Press in 2009.
