Well Being Retreat Center

The image of ourselves that we offer up to the public can often feel like an ill-fitting suit. Not authentic. It is a fortuitous day when we realize that our thinking mind, while a wonderful tool, is confined to concepts about Reality (and ourselves) and not capable of living fully – at ease – in alignment with Reality. Thereafter, we set out on a path of seeking that often includes mindfulness and meditation and practices and hopes and prayers. This series will explore the territory which lies beyond our conceptualizing mind and, eventually, beyond seeking itself. The focus will be practical, experiential and non-denominational; it will not be philosophical or dogmatic. It will include extemporaneous talks, guided meditations and inquiry. That which lies beyond our thinking mind will be revealed as being already present, complete and whole – only patiently awaiting our recognition of it and our appreciation of its unfathomable depth.
