Rumi: You are—we all are—the beloved of the Beloved, and in every moment, in every event of your life, the Beloved is whispering to you exactly what you need to hear and know.
…Listen and your whole life will become a conversation in thought and act between you and Him, directly, wordlessly, now and always.
On this retreat we will be using the principles of Alexander Technique to explore ways of becoming more present to this conversation. Busyness, resistance, clinging, and fears - all manifest as tension in the body and all are obstacles to presence. We’ll be discovering how to release the tension, inhabit our bodies more fully, so beginning to loosen the hold of these obstacles that prevent us from hearing the promptings of love and truth in our hearts. During this retreat there will be extended periods of Centering Prayer twice a day, and plenty of time for silent reflection between teaching sessions.
