SPRING MINI-RETREAT

June 5th and 6th

Keep your calendars open for the Spring Mini Retreat, Friday evening 6/5 and Saturday 6/6 (~8:30-1:00). Catherine Coughlin has again offered her home (6th and Ivanhoe) for this retreat, and meditation teacher Steve Sachs, has agreed to lead us deeper into a mindful state of meditation, and in a creative way!.For those who have not attended these retreats previously, they are always a delightful time spent enjoying each others' company over potluck dishes, and delving deeply into meditation. Here is a preview from Steve: 

"All These Forms": A Song of Realization and Practice Join us for a mini-retreat built around a single song. "All These Forms" was composed by Tibetan master Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche as a direct pointing to the nature of present-moment experience. Its four verses move through sight, sound, feeling, and awareness — each one an invitation to let go and rest in what's already here. Together we'll learn the song (accompanied by Steve's Appalachian lap dulcimer!), explore each verse through meditation and discussion, and take home a song you can actually sing throughout your day as a mindfulness practice. No musical background needed! :-)

Thanks, Steve
