Spring Retreat: Mind, Reactive and Creative
Our mind can function in two ways: reactively and without awareness, or creatively with awareness. The purpose of human life is to move from reacting habitually and automatically to responding creatively and wisely. On this ten-day retreat we’ll explore how to practically make the transition from reactivity to creativity inside and outside meditation.
