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. We will deepen our kinship with and devotion to Gaia, spanning the plant, mineral, animal world, all beings, and every form of life. We will listen deeply - beyond the mind of separation, extraction, and concepts - to Life as it unfolds moment by moment.

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 the earth and her myriad beings.

All are welcome. Those who are experienced or new meditators, those who love to move and those who hold trepidation. There will be great care and integrity brought to letting this be a container for healing and accessibility.
