Transformational Practices for a Better World

Weekend Retreat at the Morro Bay Veterans' Hall, Morro Bay, CA

Coming Home: Cultivating Love and Wisdom as Expressions fo Innate wholeness.

Guiding Meditation Teacher: John Makransky, PhD; Foundation for Active Compassion

This weekend retreat is for both new and experienced meditators. 

Participants learn powerful meditations from Tibetan Buddhism that help bring out latent powers of loving compassion and wisdom from the ground of our being.  Such meditations, adapted for people of all faiths and backgrounds, can make us more fully present to self and others by awakening an unconditional attitude from within that nourishes all, while challenging us to see more of the potential in all.  When this unity of compassion and wisdom is embodied in relationships and action, it can become a great force to heal our lives and world.  The ancient bodhisattva way of awakening is rediscovered here and now in the particulars of family, work and service.  By making contemplations from Tibet accessible to people of all faiths and backgrounds, this retreat is also an exercise in deep mutual learning across religious boundaries.  Guided meditations, questions and discussion.
