Item Description
Attend this seven-day Awakening in the Body retreat in Woodacre, California, and experience the union of meditation and qigong. The retreat takes place at the beautiful Spirit Rock Meditation Center, June 11 to 17, 2012.
The retreat will feature instruction in both disciplines with meditation forming the basis for practicing relaxed, spacious, moment-to-moment awareness. Qigong, a series of elegantly simple movements, will bring a radiant openness and balance to the body and mind. Together, meditation and qigong strengthen our capacity to be present, see clearly and directly sense the body as a doorway to the boundless.
Spirit Rock Meditation Center began in 1982 when a small group of sitters in Northern California met to create a west coast retreat center. In 1987, this dedicated group purchased 412 acres in rural Marin County from the Nature Conservancy. The residential retreat center opened in 1998 and currently hosts about 40 retreats per year of varying lengths, from three nights to two months. Its purpose is "to help each individual find peace, compassion and wisdom through the practice of mindfulness and Insight Meditation (Vipassana), and to support the individual in taking those qualities into the world."
