Come to the shore and bring your spirit, mind and body back together through physical activity, discussion and quiet contemplation. There will be time to explore the beach, enjoy core strength, stretching, breathing and relaxation techniques. We will also free the spirit through dancing to rock music like Wild Woman; gentle movement to meditative music and discussion of the evolutionary process and how it affects our bodies and the way we use them. All exercise and movement periods are adaptable to a wide range of age, experience and flexibility. Wear cool, comfortable loose clothing and sneakers or other supportive athletic shoes. Please bring your own towel or mat and water bottle.

A retreat experience grounded in solitude, silence, prayer and daily meetings with the spiritual director. Directed retreats call for receptivity to the movements of the Spirit and are adaptable to the needs and desires of each individual.

Loneliness touches every life in varying degrees.  It can be a devastating weight or a creative force.  This workshop will invite us to explore how loneliness can become a gift leading us, by the grace of God, to a wholeness that may once have seemed inconceivable.  The workshop will include music, presentation, silent reflection and sharing.

The Buddhist mind training teachings acknowledge the awakened heart as our basic nature, which can be recognized through contemplative practice and meditation.  The Seven Key Points of Training the Mind, originally taught in Tibet by the renowned Buddhist scholar, Atisha Dipankara in 1042, are widely practiced methods for taming the mind.  These practices engender a fresh perspective, moving the practitioner from the effort to control to being present to what is.  This spiritual practice is relevant, practical and powerful and engenders the authentic compassion that arises from the experience of the interconnectedness of all beings.  Khentrul Rinpoche will provide an overview, deepening and completion of this traditional training.  Beginners are welcome.
