Within each of us is the Source of an unconditional Loving. Are we open to receive such a gift? Is it possible to see ourselves or apparent “others” from this loving dimension of the Heart? Longing for love, we often hide from it, imagining we are not worthy, or demanding that love must come in a particular size and shape.
While love may have many faces, in its deepest essence, it has no opposite and requires no protection, although it often evokes feelings of vulnerability in its human expressions.

This three-day online retreat with Dorothy Hunt will include guided meditations, silence, dharma talks, and dialogue, as we explore the experience of giving and receiving Love. We may even discover that our true Valentine lives within as both lover and beloved!

Dorothy Hunt currently serves as Spiritual Director of Moon Mountain Sangha, teaching at the request and in the spiritual lineage of Adyashanti. The flavor of her teaching blends Advaita and Zen with a deep welcoming of the human expressions of the Mystery.

With gentle movements, we allow the body to be felt as it presents itself, moment to moment. Whether there is constriction or heaviness, we unconditionally welcome it through space-feeling, sensing, as well as with an occasional simple inquiry. With this approach, we experience that there is nothing to do, to change or to achieve. Open Presence allows these movements to free themselves and to be newly sensed at any moment. In this way, we effortlessly become one with welcoming that is our home ground.

We start with a short meditation. At the end of the session there will be a time for sharing and questions.
Please bring a blanket or a mat.

Originally from France, Christiane was a student of the late European Advaita master Jean Klein for over 20 years. Although rooted in Advaita, Jean incorporated a form of subtle-body yoga from Kashmir Shaivism. It is this approach that he taught to Christiane.

In Bali in 2011, Lisa Cairns suddenly lost total control while eating banana fritters with ice cream, and there was a sudden and explosive energetic shift, beyond the intellect.

For the past eleven years, she has traveled around the world, sharing non-duality. In her talks, she tries to communicate the limitless nature of life, which is at the root of every philosophy, religion or story. She hopes to open doors for anyone who wants to listen, providing a broader perspective on this magical thing we call life.

"There's no "doer" doing anything; there is no independent person; it's just a happening, all of it, now. When you're walking your legs are simply walking all by themselves, and we claim that and we say 'I'm walking“.

Who is this "I“ that walks ? There's nobody that's walking.

Walking happens. Speaking happens. Looking happens. Hearing happens. Action happens. And our illusion is that we act.

There is nobody. It's all coming from divinity and nothing is outside of you, nothing! It is simply life playing out, and it couldn't be any other way."

In this four-part series we will explore the theme of falling open to not knowing, to the boundless heart, and to the groundless ground of Being. What happens when our mind sees it’s limits and lets go, when our heart remembers its native innocence and wholeness, and when our false ground falls away? Meetings will include guided and silent meditations, talks, experiential conversations, and dyadic and group meditative inquiries.

May the Love that animates all opposites melt and clarify separation, strife and suffering, allowing Pure Being to lead the way rather than the mind. Join Pamela in adding your presence to distill and radiate this core medicine.
