Meditations on Love, Purpose, Fear and Death

With Lester Strong and Evry Mann

November 22 - 24, 2019

A DHARMAKAYA CENTER RETREAT

This program grew out of a genuine desire to offer a set of mindful tools which have served practitioners for thousands of years—tools that are crucial for 21st century students in pursuit of a life filled with more love, courage and purpose.

THREE PROGRAM PILLARS

The central pillar of this workshop is meditation with the goal of not merely achieving mental and physical wellbeing but also to forging an unbreakable connection with the Natural Universal Intelligence that pervades everything. Through that connection, participants discover new internal pathways which dramatically enhance their mental, emotional and spiritual capacity.

The second pillar is forming an intention; specifically, regarding love, purpose, fear and death which are central aspects to every human life. It’s important to understand that intention is not about how we want the world to be; rather intention is about how we want to be in the world. Through intention, Meditations strives to enable participants to love more profoundly, confront fear more courageously, share their unique talents more fully and embrace death more peacefully.

The third pillar is journaling which allows participants to concretize their thoughts and emotions without concern for personal judgement or the opinions of others. Journaling also connects us with our gratitude at the same time. In addition, journaling, when combined with meditation and Intention, enables participants to answer any critical questions they face.
