Blossoming by Nature: Four Invitations to Creativity
With Arawana Hayashi and John Rockwell
May 5 - 11, 2023
The Hudson Valley and Shawangunk mountains are renowned for their beauty since the time the Lanape people lived here. Sky Lake Shambhala Meditation Center invites you to join Arawana Hayashi and John Rockwell for a springtime 5-day retreat. This retreat will offer sitting meditation and compassion practice, walking in nature, social presencing theater and conversations, and spontaneous delights. These are the four invitations to pacify, enrich, magnetize, and let go. Spring is a magical time for creative renewal as we are called to step forward into the challenges of our times. Everyone is warmly invited to join us.
