Maria Bonita Kapitany leading kirtan in the yurt

Hello Friends,

I am certain that everyone is as busy as I am on our beautiful island and so I will simply wish you all a sweet summer. Perhaps I will even see some of you in the yurt or spot you at Ringside.

Enjoy,
Michelle

"So let us understand that reality transcends all of our notions about reality. Reality is neither Christian, Hindu, Jewish, Advaita Vedanta, nor Buddhist. It is neither dualistic nor nondualistic, neither spiritual nor nonspiritual. We should come to know that there is more reality and sacredness in a blade of grass than in all of our thoughts and ideas about reality. When we perceive from an undivided consciousness, we will find the sacred in every expression of life. We will find it in our teacup, in the fall breeze, in the brushing of our teeth, in each and every moment of living and dying. Therefore we must leave the entire collection of conditioned thought behind and let ourselves be led by the inner thread of silence into the unknown, beyond where all paths end, to that place where we go innocently or not at all - not once but continually."

Silent Meditation Retreat

Information about the retreat and the schedule is posted on the website. We invite you to join us for 2 full days of silence or for individual sittings and satsang. We ask for you to respect the silence and not make eye contact with other participants. These retreats are very restorative....a wonderful way to begin the summer!
