John Prendergast ~ The Art of Self-Inquiry ~ Bay Area Daylong Retreat

Awakening to our true nature is greatly facilitated by the art of self-inquiry – a deep, honest, and intuitive investigation into the direct experience of who we really are. This investigation is based upon our love of the non-dogmatic truth and our desire to live in conscious accord with it. Rigorous self-inquiry often requires that we recognize and welcome our deepest doubts and fears and then question and see through them. The effect is profoundly liberating.

Our time together will include guided and open meditations, a talk, group and dyadic inquiries, and experiential conversations.
