Description: Almost all of us unknowingly stand (or have stood) upon a highly conditioned, self-constructed ground that we mis-take as being solid and real. As we become more honest and intimate with our experience, this constructed ground, much like the foundations of a house, begins to give way revealing a breath-taking openness – a groundless ground – that is our true nature.

John Prendergast ~ “Letting Go” ~ Bay Area Daylong Retreat
While the essence of the awakening process is a letting go, it cannot be willed. Rather, it arises from a spontaneous upwelling of our deepest desire to be completely emptied out, opened, and freed from any internal resistance to abiding in and as our true nature as loving awareness. Through guided and silent meditation, dyadic inquiry, a talk and experiential conversations, we will explore attuning with this deepest of desires and recognizing and welcoming the inevitable resistance that arises......
