“Natural Goodness”
Life As It Is offers families a unique chance to pause – to carve out intentional space in busy family lives, to feel into and attend to what is most important for us, and to enjoy being supported by a place and a community that have been dedicated to spiritual enquiry for 50 years.
How can meditation practice and a deep commitment to contributing to a healthier, saner world share space with the joy and chaos of family life?
Together we will practice weaving our inner and outer lives together, infusing them with our deep heart of aspiration for ourselves and for our world. We will be supported by the teachings of Buddhadharma – insights and methods that help us build confidence, contentment, and the capacity to meet with whatever arises with our whole being.
This year we will be exploring the theme of ‘Natural Goodness’. All beings are born with natural goodness and the same innate potential for deep unfolding. Children naturally demonstrate this to us! They can be such wonderful reminders of what we have all had since birth, but may lose touch with from time to time. How can we nurture this potential in ourselves, our own children, and in all beings? Together we will explore and enjoy being reminders and reflections for each other, of goodness, kindness, joy, and love, for the benefit of all.
The weekend will consist of group practice time, fun and explorations, children’s activities, and space to be immersed in the oasis of calm that the Centre and the whenua offers.
The weekend is facilitated by Louise Petzold and Chani Grieve, both committed practitioners weaving the deepening enquiry of dharma with family and community life.
Children’s activities will be facilitated by Nyima Petzold.
