On Trust
As the meditative path deepens, and as life itself deepens for us, we’re asked to learn how to truly trust. That’s easier said than done, because growing wise also means becoming discerning: learning what not to trust.
How do we hold these two in dynamic tension? How can we be “wise as serpents and gentle as doves”? Not as an abstraction, but as an embodied, felt knowing that something deeper than the mind can fathom is here to sustain us always.
In this four-hour online retreat, we’ll explore exactly this territory. We’ll practice noticing where we brace and where we guard our hearts. We’ll learn to tell the difference between self-protection and real discernment, and we’ll let go into a Trust that goes beyond the small self altogether.
I look forward to practicing with you.
