With Mei Elliott, Guy Armstrong, Susie Harrington, Yong Oh and Teresa Todoroff

Spirit Rock Meditation Center

Awareness is a beautiful, hidden jewel that is innate in everyone. Awareness illuminates experience, which creates the pathway for clarity, understanding, and insight. It is a foundation for wisdom, compassion, and awakening. In this silent meditation retreat, we will explore the quality of awareness—what it is, and how to cultivate and abide in awakened presence. We will investigate how mindfulness supports a depth of awareness through various meditation practices, and we will look at what obscures the clarity of awareness both in meditation and in everyday life.

As our mindfulness grows, we discover how this capacity for awareness is available in every moment. Throughout our time together, we will also explore the fusion of love and awareness and consider how developing awareness allows a natural opening of the heart. This process fosters a kind and compassionate awareness to ourselves, others, and to all experience. Guy Armstrong will be joining for intermittent periods throughout the retreat.

This retreat is silent except for teacher-led Q&A, small groups, or other practice meetings.
