SUMMARY:Pamela Wilson ~ Back to True Nature
DESCRIPTION:A Rustic Weekend Retreat with Pamela Wilson\nSaturday March 30th and Sunday March 31st\n10:00am to 5:00pm\, Fairfax\, CA \nThis weekend retreat with Pamela Wilson will take place on private property in Fairfax\, on 50 acres of ridgetop land\, with beautiful views of Mount Tam and the surrounding area\, with many trails for walking and savoring the beautiful spring wildflowers. \nPamela Wilson has been sharing satsang for twenty years around the world\, honoring the sage within everyone\, and the absolute oneness of All That Is. She evokes through dialogue\, inquiry and her very presence the qualities of unconditional love and radical acceptance. She endears herself to her audiences with her playful and light-hearted humor\, combined with compassion and deep understanding of what it is to be human. Pamela is celebrated for her ability to open the heart\, call forth our own inner sage\, and create a space in which long-held struggles and notions about one’s identity relax. She is featured in the book Ordinary Women\, Extraordinary Wisdom\, and is the author of the forthcoming A Golden Retriever’s Guide to Joy\, \n“Here we are\, benevolent rooted space wearing a remarkably sensitive instrument called the body. Most sages report the body-mind insists on being included and permeated by presence\, so it too\, can know and live its naturalness. The body is the five elements\, already free with no history\, though it has born witness to all. As compassion we will be instantly aware of any suffering and answer its call; as stillness we will be aware of remaining restlessness. To be with what is in the moment\, this is our function and is at the heart of all longing. Join with your fellow sages in satsang\, sharing what you are noticing is an act of love.” \nWe will savor the stillness\, inquire\, share and walk together. A light organic vegetarian lunch\, and tea and cookies at tea time will be provided free of charge\, or you may bring your own food\, or head out for lunch to Good Earth Natural Foods or a number of local restaurants. \nSatsang meetings will be held outdoors\, in the shade\, weather permitting. If it rains\, we will meet inside. \nIt is expected that most attendees will commute; however\, shared dormitory-style overnight accommodation is available for those who want to spend the whole weekend at the property\, though space is very limited. \nPre-registration is required\, as the retreat will be limited to 30 people. Priority will be given to those who can attend both days. \nFor more information or to register\, email robmschwartz@yahoo.com \nDirections and logistical details will be provided upon registration. \nSuggested donation:\n$75 for a single day\n$130 for the weekend\nNo one turned away for lack of funds.

SUMMARY:Tom Kurzka ~ Rest in Being: The Love of Your Life
DESCRIPTION:Live Worldwide Web Event\n10:00am – 12:00pm pm (Pacific Time – San Francisco\, CA\, USA) Time Zone Converter \nYou are invited to join Tom as we explore this experience called me and my world. We’ll begin with an introduction followed by a brief guided meditation\, then open dialogue. There is no question or concern that is too unworthy to be addressed. Often the most deep rooted problems are our gateway to the Love that we all are. Through this process Tom holds a sweet tender kindness that makes many who work with him feel held and safe. Within this supportive framework our full humanness is embraced and touched. As we radically accept and meet the worst of the worst\, a gentle piercing happens as the entirety of our human experience melts in Being’s all-embracing arms\, this ever present Love. We see that we are that Love\, this sweetness that unconditionally holds our humanness. \nIn 2000\, after a lifelong battle trying to hold onto his false sense of a separate self\, Tom’s fight against Reality spontaneously ended\, resulting in a shift into unitive consciousness or Being. Shortly thereafter\, Tom was asked to share and has since been holding small group meetings at his home in Oregon and also with a group in Virginia. Tom is known for his humility and a profound acceptance of what is. The guidance moving through him has flavors of Advaita Vedanta\, Sufism\, Buddhism and\, most importantly\, an ongoing revelation of living in the moment.  \ntomkurzka.org \nSuggested donation: $15 to $25\nPLEASE REGISTER EARLY if you can.
