Alchemy of Change

NOT meditating by numbers

It is a lot simpler than most people think to have your head meet your heart and your body and to tap into that inexhaustible source inside at will, whenever you need to, or want [...]

Wild Mind

You could write a book to unpack the idea of the wild. In fact there have been several. I am thinking in particular of Gary Snyder’s Practice of the Wild.

Join us for a retreat to learn ways to open to the simplicity of living from the innate and naturally wild capacity of mind. [...]

Buddhist Leadership - Teacher Abuse

Buddhism, Conscious Leadership, teacher abuse, ethics, and Precepts.

Among the community of teachers from several Buddhist traditions that I am a part of, there is a topic of dicussion that is frequently revisited. This is the subject of teacher misconduct, particularly in the areas of the sex and power. Misconduct in this instance means abuse of [...]

Silence?

To listen to this article click here

People often ask about silence and how silent our retreats are and why. And whether there’s any talking at all, if they get some guidance from us, the teachers.

Well, the answer to that is yes, we give some very specific guidance and instruction; and yes, these are silent retreats. [...]

The Universe is Alive

Everything is alive, like Allen Ginsberg’s Footnote to Howl. Everything’s holy, everything wholly, everything’s whole. Which is not to say that it’s perfect just as it is, and that there isn’t a job for you to [...]

Meditation is not something to isolate you from the world. It is something to give you [...]

The Art of Focus: Ways Meditation Can Change your Life

Video from Caitriona

A Mind as Big as the Sky

Meditation is not just about mind control. Focus and concentration are not just about controlling the mind. It’s better to consider controlling less, trusting more – like a trained dancer, an artist, a musician who can express themselves effortlessly.

Meditation is the art of living, and [...]

Present Moment - Future Moment

If you do not have a destination, a goal, then how can you ever arrive there? At the same time, if you have a goal, but are fixated on arriving there, without really knowing where you are right now, you cannot fully know the steps you must take. To pursue your dreams and goals, AND to live fully in the present, THAT is [...]

What's more exciting than this …

We became more passionate than ever about guiding people beyond any imagined limitations. Change is possible. More than we sometimes [...]
