“The synthesis of multiple perspectives is always greater than their sum.  The self/team which is knowledgeable about many worlds has great wisdom in each of them.”

 

 

~  Dōgen Zenji

Against the backdrop of forests and mountains, rocks and ponds, this retreat invites you to slow down, reconnect and rest into the ancient and vast wisdom that is always available. We will anchor our attention in the elements and explore how we are not separate from the nourishing earth, energizing wind, vital fire and soothing water. Together, we’ll play in the web of our human and more-than-human connections, and listen for the gifts that want to move through us. 

This retreat is being offered through our sister sangha, Dragon Moon Zen. Registration and full details on their website, here.  https://www.dragonmoonzen.org/mountains-and-water
