Three Poisons (Part 1)

July Retreat:
Contemplative Creativity

July 5-8, 2012
Think you're not a meditator? Think you're not an artist? Think again! From Thursday to Sunday, try a long weekend of contemplation and creative play in a nature-full setting just 90 minutes from Toronto. Let meditation create a powerful container for creative work, while the creative work energizes the meditation; each opens doors for the other. Suitable for all levels of practice.


Private Meditation Coaching
Private and semi-private sessions by arrangement, to establish and support a solid personal meditation practice. Includes single sessions as well as three-session and six-session packages.


“Waking up isn't about getting somewhere, or becoming something that we are not. We are already awake -- it's just covered over with notions of who we are, who we should be, and how everything else should be. Meditation practice helps us observe, work with, and ultimately let go of delusions that block our experience of life.” --Franca Leeson

 

One-Day Retreat:
Breath(e)

Saturday March 10
Spend a day exploring a number of techniques for connecting with the breath in meditation. Some may be new to you, some you may know already. The purpose of the day is the review them, then practice them intensely as a group.


The Headless Way
June 2, 2012
In the workshop you will be guided through awareness exercises that invite you to notice the difference between what you are for others, your appearance, and what you are for yourself, your reality. You are not required to believe or imagine anything. As amazing as it sounds, all you are asked to do is look. Practice this "seeing" in a one-day workshop with Richard Lang.


November Retreat:
KnoWonder

November 5-11, 2012
Take 7 days to practice awakening moments through breath meditation, insight techniques, and direct awareness. This retreat is most suitable for people with at least a year of meditation experience and a consistent daily practice, although less experienced meditators can be accommodated with some preparatory work.


Look Again classes are scent-free! A number of students are sensitive to scented products, and suffer greatly if exposed to perfume or scented soap or hair products. Please avoid using any scented products at all on any meditation class day.
