Spirit Rock Training Program

Just got back from the Mindfulness Yoga & Meditation Training at Spirit Rock in California. It was truly a wonderful program over these last 18 months. This last one was very joyful and poignant. I’ll be adding more this weekend, and some more wonderful images. The teachers again were, luminaries from the yoga and Vipassana communities, and they offered us a range of their wisdom. Basically the program was aimed at yoga teachers on how to incorporate the gifts of mindfulness into their classes. The goal being to give folks tools to deal with the inevitable suffering that happens in life. I know suffering is a strong word. Dukka, the word in Pali (the ancient language of the time) can be translated as “unsatisfactoriness” as well. And it ‘s not meant to be depressing but in fact bring more joy into ones life, as we incorporate certain tools of mind. Anyway….more later.
