Our Earth bodies are part of the natural feedback system of all of life, from the micro to the macro, from the visible to the invisible. Beyond anthropocentrism, Buddhist meditation expands our recognition of embodied interdependence. On this retreat, practicing with the body and the elements as our entry way, we will explore the radical gift and responsibility of interdependence. Held at the beautiful Hawaii Retreat Center on the Big Island, overlooking the ocean, this unique retreat will be held in noble silence. In addition to meditation and dharma talks, it will also include music, guided somatic practice and movement, inquiry in small groups, and ritual. Recognizing our embedded belonging, we will explore our deep reverence and responsibility in caring for Gaia and her myriad beings.
