About Stillness
in Action
Stillness in Action develops wisdom, calmness,
courage and clarity to sustain a life of freedom and integrity
in challenging times.
Take the opportunity to:
* Learn a simple meditation to still the confusions of
the mind - allowing wisdom and compassion to arise, and
freeing your intellectual, emotional and creative intelligence;
* Renew your spirit for restoring a sustainable environment,
for building a just and equitable society, for participating
in healthy and creative communities, for personal and
social healing;
* Strengthen confidence, kindness and joy - and your power
to make a difference - through processes of deep ecology,
systems science and ancient earth wisdom;
* Use practical tools to clarify your values and intentions
and move them into action;
* Learn to build sustaining communities of friendship.
* Nurture and refresh your body and mind through walking,
yoga, journaling and silent contemplation in the beauty
of nature.
Mornings of silent meditative reflection teach the sacred
art of presence.
Each afternoon, creative group work reveals fresh paths
to personal and social change - inspired by Joanna Macy's
work
Evenings sharing stories, poetry, music and laughter,
enliven and deepen community.
Each day unfolds a new perspective on a journey to reconnect
our lives with our
world.
"Go forth on your journey for the benefit of the
many, for the joy of the many, out of compassion for the
world, for the welfare, for the benefit and joy of all
beings."

News
In
2009, I am introducing a new retreat - 'Natural Mind' - silent
meditation, contemplation in nature, dharma talks and a small
amount of reflective discussion. I'm very pleased to be co-leading
the Natural Mind retreats with my husband and fellow Buddhist
teacher, John Allan.
May each of us be inspired to continue compassionate action for
ourselves and all beings in 2009.
