 THE SUMMER RETREAT 2010INVITATION TEACHINGS AND MEDITATION IN A SILENT RETREAT SETTING AT THE GOVERNOR'S ACADEMY Byfield, Massachusetts AUGUST 25TH - AUGUST 29TH  Email |  978.879.8432 Secure Online Registration availableLed by Lama Marut and Cindy Lee Lindsay Crouse and Rick Blue To All, We’re an interesting culture. We’re basically insane. We make cars that go from zero to a hundred in six seconds, despite a speed limit of sixty-five. Why? To pass? We want dominion, so noise and speed are useful. Try going to the movies: your hearing is impaired. When I tell people I’m going on a silent retreat, they recoil. "I’d go crazy,” most of them say. I tell them, "We’re all already crazy so it can’t make things worse.” In fact being quiet longer than an inbreath could make things much, much better. Why? Because we’re all just in the fray, reacting. We don’t even know what we think. Our true encounters with ourselves are so infrequent we can count them on one hand. We’re whipped up, worn out, and we don’t know who we are. We need help to understand that relaxation, gentleness and peace are not synonymous with death. They’re at the heart of our own nature, and the condition for true happiness. Meditation as a way to live means living happily - with grace, So let the culture keep. Come join us and do something new. Have a profound rest. Return home knowing how to make life sweet, and sane and good. Everyone is welcome. I’ll see you there.
