Summer to Fall 2008
Meditation and the Spirit of Creativity: 7-day Workshop
September 5th to September 12th
Anna Douglas, Wes Nisker, Mayumi Oda (painting), Susan Moon (writing)
Location: Upper Retreat Hall
Cost: $940 - $590, sliding scale
Time: Friday, September 5, 3:00 pm - Friday, September 12, 12:00 pm
This is a silent retreat for writers, painters and anyone wanting to deepen their contact with the creative spirit. Alternating between stillness and creative activity provides fertile ground for the flowering of one´s unique expression.
In addition to the usual schedule of sitting and walking meditation, we will offer two tracks of creative pursuit--one for painters with master artist Mayumi Oda, and one for writers with Susan Moon, a writer and former editor of Turning Wheel. There will be two hours of "studio time" in the morning and two hours in the afternoon. Meditation instructions, interviews and dharma talks will be offered as well.
