“We can learn from nature enough to be enlightened.”
Ajahn Chah

MEDITATION WITHOUT WALLS
Join us in-person for this special event! We will spend a day sheltering together in the redwood forest of the Santa Cruz mountains in Ben Lomond. This is an opportunity to practice safely in a small group and support each other through this challenging time. The natural serenity and presence of wild nature can deepen our awareness and soothe our hearts.

THE REDWOOD AMPHITHEATER
We will meet outdoors in a lovely natural amphitheater surrounded by redwoods on private property. There will be mindful sitting and moving meditations, qi gong, teachings and Q & A. Most of the day will be in silence. Bring a bag lunch, snacks and drinks. Wear comfortable layered clothing. This retreat is for people with an established mindfulness meditation practice.

DEPOSIT AND DANA
There is a $25 deposit to reserve your space. The $25 goes toward your total donation. There is not a set fee for this event. We have a suggested sliding scale from $60 to $150. However, no one will be turned away for lack of funds. You can offer your donation at the retreat.

COVID-19 PRECAUTIONS
We will practice social distancing and wear masks. Instead of the usual carpooling, we suggest you drive alone unless you are coming with a person with whom you shelter in place. Hand-washing and hand sanitizer will be used.
