Location: Briones Regional Park
This 1-day Earth Wisdom Wilderness Embodiment Retreat with Satya and Alaya will incorporate meditation, embodiment practices, teaching of North Shield, a nourishing meal and community council.
Exploring the North shield and the element of Air together:
In this retreat we will be exploring the air element through breath and our mind.
Breath is life. We can only breathe in the now! Our soul body depends on breath and the breath relies on this form, we do not have form without breath. The vital life force of air lives in us and surrounds us, giving inspiration and creativity to be a magnificent expression of source.
The North Shield is a journey from our habitual mind to our higher consciousness. Mindfulness supports our ability to make mature judgment, respond wisely with kindness and take appropriate action in the world.
The North Shield is all about finding the ground, listening to our calling, and being of service in our own unique way. This retreat will be a time for silence, to stop, to be and to listen.
Most of us are coming from lives that are very busy. We may feel overworked and undernourished. By grounding, we give our bodies the support to settle more, so we can rest in the gap from the busy-ness. A part of being healthy in the North Shield is learning how to receive fulfillment for work well done. We will enjoy the support of the natural world and share in community.
In this retreat, we will:
Explore ways to expand our capacity to discriminate between the shatter of the ego mind and the true mind that is calling us into our purpose
Discover our one pointed focus as a generative adult in the world
Be held by the natural world as a support for our healing
Deepen the skills of reciprocity with nature.
Sacred Ceremony and Community Council
Our journey in the wilderness will give us insights and experience that we will bring back to be witnessed by our community. Questions and inquiry may be invited as, together, we explore and reflect on each person’s experience.
In this time together in community we create a sacred container to be seen, heard, affirmed and supported in the unique evolutionary journey of our soul. As we listen to each other's heartfelt expression in community council, we find reservoirs of strength and compassion, allowing us to be with discomfort.
We will experience firsthand that nature, our community and our true nature, can hold these vulnerable, unmet places and help us stay present to their healing. Through ongoing revelation, we stretch and grow, finding ever changing expressions of what it means to be a human being in community.
