In a world of change and unpredictability, in times that often feel chaotic and confusing, we frequently find ourselves longing for qualities of ease, clarity, and well-being.  In our search for a dependable refuge, we may mistakenly turn to that which is essentially unreliable and unable to provide the stability we seek.

Meditation can be seen as the process of learning to recognize and trust a natural quality of awareness that is available to all of us in any moment no matter what is happening in our experience.  This awareness allows us to open to and connect with the truth of each moment.  As we gain confidence in the mind’s ability to recognize this natural awareness, we begin to release the burden of trying to control, manipulate, or fix experience to meet our ideas of the way we think it should be, and relax into the truth of the way life actually is.

Through this process we begin to discover a place of refuge and strength within our own mind and heart.  This inner confidence arises from our won understanding, and leads us to a true refuge that is independent of life’s changing conditions and available to us at any time.  This silent retreat, open to both beginners and experienced meditators, will offer guided meditations, instructions, time for questions, and discussion with the teacher.  Greg will also offer an optional daily period of mindful movement based on Qigong.
