The Essential Work of Liberation

This retreat is both a silent meditation retreat and a workshop. It is offered both online and in-person at the monastery.

 

As Spring begins to brighten the earth,  what has been dormant over a cold dark winter stirs with new life and opportunities for growth and transformation appear.  We can see this change in our gardens and forests with each passing day. Can you feel it in your body and heart?

What has been dormant in you, waiting to ripen and be shared with the world? Look and see!

Liberation is our inherent nature and our true home.  When we lose connection with immanent truth we unconsciously adopt unskillful cultural  and social values.  The Essential Work of Liberation is about embodying healthy values and looking beyond our small minded limitations.  When these truths are lost it’s helpful to gather together and bravely and directly look at what might be holding us back.

In the silence of the meditation hall, we utilize our creative and curious human heart/minds to inquire into the nature of awakening. In small groups we will unravel our collective and individual karma – awakening together as the earth, being liberation itself.
