Are We Really Practicing?
Elizabeth Mattis-Namgyel
June 29 - July 1, 2012
All the great meditation masters point out the importance of honesty for practitioners. In this spirit we have to be able to ask ourselves, “Are we really practicing?” This is a subtle and indispensable question from the beginning to the end of the path. Elizabeth will examine this topic in what will be a lively weekend of talks, discussion and practice.
Elizabeth is known for her willingness to question the entire path in order to reach a place of genuine practice and awakening. She asks audiences to engage in the practice of open questioning with her while she takes a fresh look at all the assumptions and beliefs we have about spirituality. Audiences repeatedly comment on how this approach has reinvigorated their meditation practice and how they relate to their lives as a whole.
Retreat check-in on June 29 will be open from 3-5pm. This program will conclude at approx 12 noon on Sunday, July 1st.
Program cost is $195 for registrations received by June 15th. After June 15, program cost is $225.
