When asked "what is meditation?" I always say, "One word: relationship. It is simply 'being with.' The power of this profound and radical practice of being with ourselves, and by extension, others, can be neither fully

When asked "what is meditation?" I always say, "One word: relationship.
It is simply 'being with.' The power of this profound and radical practice
of being with ourselves, and by extension, others, can be neither fully
expressed, nor underestimated."
-- Rev. angel Kyodo williams
After all the fancy descriptions, meditation is no more and no less
than relationship: a continuous process of coming into being with
our most natural state. As agents of social change--people
committed to transforming the society we live in towards a
sustainable, equitable place for all--it is our responsibility to
first discover & strengthen the relationship we have with
ourselves so that we can become truly effective advocates & allies
for others. The old "us vs. them" way of doing social change
perpetuates a culture of violence and aggression. The new
paradigm of change abides in compassion & begins with you.
Join this social visionary, eminent teacher and leader in the
"Third Way" movement for transformative social
change for a powerful daylong retreat of meditation, yoga
practice, dharma talk and community...and experience the
power of BEING change for yourself.
Bring a friend, an ally or someone you're having a hard time with.
Also, please bring a bag lunch.
Sliding Scale Daylong: $50-35. Members: $25.
