One-Day Meditation Retreat Under The Stars
Heart Within Retreat - June 14, 2008
The benefits of mediation are
enormous and can greatly enhance your physical, emotional,
intellectual, and spiritual health. Meditation is simply the
process of stilling the mind so that all wants, needs, and
desires disappear and then allowing the Universe to enter
and one's own True Nature, one's Buddha Nature, to heal,
nurture, and strengthen body/mind.
The Heart Within
Retreat located in Vincentown NJ provides a unique
opportunity to be with Mother Earth and
the Heavens. A serene quiet place where
you are away from other people, the busyness of everyday
responsibilities, and alone with the beautiful sounds of
Nature.
Take time to leave behind your thoughts, worries,
and busy schedules. Forget your troubles, and
stop thinking about what you need to do. Take time to be.
Spiritual
development is linked with regular communion with Nature.
We will spend time with Nature and time Naturally Being.
The schedule will include intervals of seated meditation and
walking meditation; an opportunity to receive personal
guidance in spiritual direction with Seijaku Roshi; formal
"Oryoki" meals, and yoga.
