Thich Nhat Hanh used the word “interbeing” to describe our interconnectedness. He said that we inter-are with one another and all of life. What will help us to remember and embody this truth? In this program we will explore practices that help us to experience our interconnectedness. Specifically, we will engage in the natural world with nature as our teacher and nature within. We will practice with our family, spiritual, and land ancestors. And we will explore our shared humanity through practices that help us to build a truly beloved community. Teachers will be Thich Nhat Hanh, the Buddha, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and the natural world.
Program Format: We will offer several periods of silent meditation every day as well as dharma talks, guided meditation, ritual, and mindful movement. Mornings will be silent as well as all meals. In the afternoon and in some of the evenings there will be small and large group experiential activities including outdoor walks, guided relaxation, journaling, arting, ceremony, and singing.
