DESCRIPTION
In the beginner's mind there is no thought, "I have attained something." All self-centered thoughts limit our vast mind. When we have no thought of achievement, no thought of self, we are true beginners. Then we can really learn something.
– Shunryu Suzuki
Practice has a unique vocabulary, terms such as directing attention, attention on Awareness, projection, beliefs and assumptions, process mapping, working meditation, centering, mentoring, karmic conditioning, just noticing, R/Ling, interviewing and many more. Many of us have never been formally introduced to these practices and have only by osmosis absorbed what is being pointed at by these terms.
If you are new to Practice, or have been around for some time yet wish you had a firmer grasp of some of its foundational principles, this yearlong retreat is for you. This would also be a good introduction for people in your life who might be curious but insecure about jumping in.
And of course, this retreat will help long-time practitioners deepen their understanding of the foundational principles of Practice. As our practice matures, we begin to perceive the teachings from an entirely new and subtle light, and guidance becomes even more helpful.
