Opening the Heart To The Great Perfection Retreat
August 4-6, 2023
Well Being Retreat Center; Tazewell, TN
Opening the Heart To The Great Perfection
What would it feel like to be spontaneously open, loving, generous, and fearless? This retreat will offer simple practices for uncovering these qualities in ourselves. Arousing these innate qualities enhances our capacity to be in relationship and brings a sense of ease and well being into our daily lives. At the same time, these practices prepare the mind for spiritual awakening. With the support of beautiful surroundings and profound teachings, we can enjoy a peaceful weekend with good companions.
Prior meditation experience is NOT required. While these practices come from Buddhism, they are essentially secular and can be employed by anyone, regardless of spiritual tradition.
Retreat Schedule
The retreat will be conducted in Noble Silence with periods of sitting meditation, walking meditation, solitary practice, Dharma talks, and time for Q&A. Private interviews with John are also offered.
Check-in will be at 4 pm on Friday August 4 and the program will end at noon on Sunday. Meals will be vegetarian (including organic eggs and some organic dairy) and are generally gluten-free. Meals include Friday supper through Sunday lunch. Teas, coffee & snacks provided throughout. Cabins (but not Cabinettes) have equipped kitchenettes if you have "special" foods you want to bring.
