Dear Friends
Our third non-residential retreat – Silence, Stillness, Sangha – is only one weekend away. Please let us know if you are planning to attend – this will support our planning process. You will find more information concerning the retreat as well as the registration form at : http://wavesandwater.org/site/retreats-2
On Saturday evening, there will be an opportunity for participants to receive or renew the Three Refuges and Five Mindfulness Trainings. You may also receive a Dharma name at that time. If you are interested, please contact us at wwsangha@gmail.com as soon as possible.
Tomorrow evening, Thursday, we will be reciting the Trainings and Sangha members who have participated in the Ceremony will be sharing their experiences – including their decision to receive the Training and the consequences of this on their lives and practice. You are warmly invited to attend, especially if you are curious about formally receiving the Mindfulness Trainings. We will discuss what it means to “study, practice, and observe” them. We will especially discuss how they are aspirational in the context of our lives and how it is possible to receive one or two or three or four or five Trainings.
