When: Monday, May 3, 2010 - Sunday, May 9, 2010
Where: Green Cove Center in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina near Tuxedo
Retreat Description: “There Never Was Anything Wrong With You: Turning the Tables on Self-Hate” (the title of the latest book Cheri is writing) is based on the fact that we are always practicing something. If we practice regretting the past and worrying about the future, that is our experience of life. If we practice the peace, joy, and well-being of the present moment, then that is the life we have. "We are shaped by our thoughts. We become what we think." – The Buddha
This retreat, our third at Green Cove, will include:
- working meditation
- group discussions
- guidance with Cheri
- gentle yoga
- a “Workshop within a Retreat” (see below)
- delicious vegetarian food prepared by a Monastery cook flown east for the occasion
- leisure time for walks, hikes on the many trails, and rest
This year a “workshop within a retreat” is being offered for those who can’t attend the full seven-day retreat. The workshop will begin with the evening meal on Friday, May 7. Saturday will be an all-day workshop led by the senior facilitators. On Sunday morning, we will have a group discussion and brunch. Both the workshop and retreat end at 11:00 a.m.
