Description:
The decision to be the presence of love is the most powerful influence you can have in any situation in your life and in this world. ~ Robert Holden
Express yourself completely, then keep quiet.
Be like the forces of nature: when it blows, there is only wind;
when it rains, there is only rain; when the clouds pass, the sun shines through.
If you open yourself to the Tao, you are at one with the Tao
and you can embody it completely.
If you open yourself to insight, you are at one with insight
and you can use it completely.
If you open yourself to loss, you are at one with loss
and you can accept it completely.
Open yourself to the Tao, then trust your natural responses;
and everything will fall into place.
~ Tao Te Ching by Lao-tzu, Translated by Stephen Mitchell
The focus of our retreat is to practice the art of Tao, the way of love.
As we practice, we realize that the Tao and love are the same in their natural quality, two words that indicate one truth. We approach and touch on the quality of love from the Tao, the spacious, non-ego place, rather than a will-ful, idealized love. Through practice, our hearts become spacious like the wide open sky, we reconnect with the natural flow and deep peace that has always been, and is currently, within us. In aligning with the Tao, we become love itself.
Our practices will be woven together with a nourishing blend of qigong, restorative yoga, breath work, heart-opening poems, meditation and the soothing and expansive sounds of crystal singing bowls. Join us for a nurturing afternoon where you will be held tenderly with care, supported by a like-hearted and minded community. All levels welcome!
