SUMMARY:Awaken! Dharma & Meditation Retreat with Jonathan Chambers
DESCRIPTION:AWAKEN!\nDharma & Meditation Retreat, Sept 3-6 2020\nAn extended weekend retreat, suitable for all. At Wangapeka, near Nelson, with Jonathan Chambers\nDescription\nBeneath the myriad challenges we face in these ‘unprecedented times’, a call resounds. It echoes in the depth of all our hearts – in the very fabric of the universe. Can you hear what it is saying? “AWAKEN!”\nThe trajectory of ‘human progress’ has never before clashed so abruptly with natural law. For many, the wish to create a happy life is being undermined by a troubling uncertainty. In times like these, it is easy to become overwhelmed, to feel helpless, to resign ourselves to distraction. But these responses won’t help to quell the ripening of centuries of collective human blindness.\nThere is another possibility: to view this time as nothing other than a Great Awakening. A chance to align whole-heartedly to the deeper truth of human potential. A potential that can be seen bursting through the cracks in our collective unconscious, if you know how to look. In Buddhism we call this potential Bodhicitta: the Enlightenment Mind.\nIn this retreat we will discover how Buddhist Dharma, supported by meditation and embodiment practices, can entirely transform the way we view and respond in challenging times like these. We will learn how to treat every moment as an opportunity for awakening – how to become warriors of Truth and Tenderness – and how to manifest a better world by aligning our collective creative power with natural law.\nCourse Timing\n3-6 September 2020\nPlease aim to arrive by 5pm on Thursday 3rd Sept.\nFirst class 7:30pm 3rd Sept.\nCourse will finish after lunch and cleanup on Sunday 6 Sept.\nPart-time attendance may be permissible with special arrangement.\nCourse Fees\nWangapeka Member * – $260 + dana\nNon-member – $290 + dana\nThis fee includes all accommodation, prepared meals, cooks fee & materials.
