SUMMARY:Luminous Presence, A Path of Bare Bones Awakening with Tarchin Hearn
DESCRIPTION:A 16-day residential retreat\nwith Tarchin Hearn\nFri 28 March (5pm) – Sun 13 April (2pm)\nSPACES ARE AVAILABLE ON THIS RETREAT\nTarchin has written:\n“There are no tricks, no shortcuts, 
no quick paths for realising a life of awakening. In some blessed way, we 
 gather all the resources of our life; 
 gradually learning the art of mingling interest and need, 
intellectual inquiry and feeling intuition, 
while all the time perfuming everything that we do with curiosity and wonderment – 
 a life koan.
 Resting thus, the subtle teaching of mind practice is being learned. Releasing, arms open wide, heart warm, mind clear, the ordinary – as blessing – and we learn to live in the world we find, and come to do this well, with courage and luminous presence. Feeding the hungry, comforting the distressed, encouraging delicate shoots of goodness wherever and however we find them. May all beings be graced with opportunities for learning these sacred arts of wonderment and love.“\n\nDuring these 16 days, through contemplation, meditation, mindful movement and immersion in the rugged beauty of Wangapeka, we will explore the meeting point of dharma, deep ecology and our place in the world.\nTeacher, author and artist, Tarchin blends the fruits of a lifelong involvement with Buddhist philosophy and practice, with a passion for contemplative ecological science.
