HEALING MASCULINITY RETREAT - POSTPONED
Thursday March 26- Sunday March 29 MorningSun Mindfulness Community, Alstead, NH A 3 day weekend of presence, inquiry, healing, and hope. The retreat will include meditation, silence, dyadic and group sharing, space for collective creativity (musical, art, or otherwise), personal practice time, co-created ritual, enjoying time in nature together, and good old fashioned fun. This retreat is an opportunity to come together as brothers to reflect on our journey into manhood, to listen to other men, share our own stories, and be heard in a safe and non-judgmental space. We will investigate what masculinity means in our world, and how we wish to explore our potential as men in the context of our relationships with ourselves, friends, partners, family members, and the world. |

We welcome participation from self-identified men, cis-gendered men, trans men, two-spirited folk, and people who are gender-expansive with a female body. We are always open to all sexualities, including but not limited to LGBTQIA+.

AN INTIMATE RETREAT WITH THAY DOJI
Wednesday September 30 - Sunday Oct 4 Green Acre (the Bahai Retreat Centre), in Eliot ME. Thay Doji is a thinking, caring, creative, precise, accessible, personable, teacher and with many more qualities. Those of us who have had the privilege of practicing with Thay Doji in recent years have often remarked that he has been a “game changer” in their practice. Some of you may remember Thay Doji from "earlier days" in Plum Village, and others from his offering retreats at Rose Apple. It will be an intimate retreat (about 30 people) Registration page is https://acupuncturemedical.org/thay-doji-2020/ Note that it is a two step registration. It is somewhat counter-intuitive and it requires that you submit two different forms: first fill in the details, name, address, etc. and click submit and then use the Paypal button to submit your payment which is a separate form. |
