I’ll be assistant teaching on this retreat led by Lama Rod Owens and Síofra Sadada at Wonderwell Mountain Refuge in Springfield, New Hampshire. This is a hybrid retreat with both residential and online attendance options.

Retreat description:

We are living through an apocalypse, struggling to learn lessons through a pervasive pandemic, economic instability, political unrest, climate change, and various forms of systematic violence. However, this moment is also inviting us back to an authentic indigeneity. We are being asked to remember how to be in relationship to the land, to our broken heartedness, and in gentle healing relationships with others. In the face of so much change we may find it difficult to maintain our physical and emotional balance.

We invite you to join Lama Rod Owens and Sister Siofra at Wonderwell Mountain Refuge or online via Natural Dharma Fellowship’s interactive hybrid system as they bring forward a deeply embodied, justice-rooted approach to liberation that draws from Buddhist practice, earth-based traditions, and lineages of collective healing.

In this retreat, we will explore both personal and collective liberation through somatic based mindfulness practice, grief work, chanting, and prayer. We will explore themes of spiritual abolition, liberatory care, grieving as care work, as well as what it means to be a love centered agent of liberation in this moment. We will rely on the wisdom of Tantric Buddhism, African spirituality, the Black Prophetic tradition, American Indigenous traditions, and sacred herbalism to understand and experience that any state of freedom must center tending to our broken hearts while calling real joy to hold the labor.
