WATERSHED ROSHI RETREAT
"FINDING THE ORIGINAL FRONTIER" — September 19th -- 21st
Where do we find the Original Frontier? Not the "final frontier" of space exploration, or the daunting frontier of the bottom of theocean, but the frontier of Mind, of consciousness itself? Like any frontier, entering it means leaving the known world behind andentering uncharted territory.
At Watershed, we leave the familiar terrain of the city, and our daily routine, embarking on a journey into Nature, in the relativewilderness of the mountains and valleys of North Carolina, which of course does not really exist, except as lines drawn upon a map,which of course, is not the territory. Bringing Zen's meditation to the strangeness of the piney woods, we realize the sameness in thedifference. Once the retreat - which is actually a Zen attack - is over, we return to the fray refreshed. The Original Frontier comes withus.
It is highly recommended that you read the book before the retreat. We will not be reading the book, but Taiun-roshi will give dailyteisho (pointed talks) embellishing on the main points, along with opportunities for dokusan (personal interview) on a regular basis.
Please join us for our multi-day meditation retreat in the western North Carolina mountains. Watershed Retreat Center is located on94 acres in a pastoral farm setting highly conducive to finding, or returning to our true nature, in the embrace of Mother Nature.
Registration is limited to preserve the experience.
