Obtaining the Natural State w/ Bonnitta Roy

Daily guided contemplations, lyric philosophy, sacred convocations, collective insight practice, 4-postures meditation, attending & attuning practices, flow movement exercises, music & chanting. Lovingly prepared local food.

Modern meditation practices are based on either (western style) conceptual or (eastern style) phenomenological analytic exercises. Analysis means deconstructing ordinary experience in order to isolate the variables. Analysis inevitably leads to fragmentation of experience into either abstract, psychological or phenomenological parts. We are then left to piece the parts together by constructing an over-arching metaphysics. In this retreat we practice the art of attending to experience as a whole. This is a delicate empirical approach that was directly explored and philosophically developed by the American pragmatists.  Attending enables you to obtain the natural state even in situations that are precarious or riveting and deepens your understanding of the wisdom that is inherent in the natural state.
