Retreat Overview: Introduction & Outlook

This retreat is dedicated to three core intentions.

The first is to complete our educational journey through the seven phases of role modeling — a framework we are using to internalize the archetypal mentor, the community, and the alchemical sacred wedding of the yab yum.

The second is to honor the precious time we have together by deepening into the fullness of our being and the richness of our shared community of practice.

The third reflects a shift in how we gather: we are moving toward greater participation from the community. Members will be invited and encouraged to lead meditations and offer prayers, as we are committed to growing together as a community of Bodhisattva practitioners.

In the opening meditation below, John invited a sangha member to begin the meditation. Rick William volunteered, and you will see him open up the meditation.

We look forward to practicing with you this weekend.
