SUMMARY:"With Awareness Comes Choice"--a Residential Retreat at Southern Dharma Retreat Center
DESCRIPTION:Southern Dharma Retreat Center will host a retreat with David McKay Thursday\, December 5 through Sunday\, December 8. A description follows. We’d love to see you there! For more information\, go here: https://southerndharma.org/retreat-schedule/1371/with-awareness-comes-choice/ \nWe suffer from that which we cannot see. We each have been trained to accept automated processes of thought within our minds\, and the self-defeating ‘reality’ which these thought patterns create. The result is that we suffer in separation from our authentic nature. Someone who is ‘unconscious’\, who identifies with these thought patterns and cannot see the illusion they create\, experiences no real choice. That person will simply feel\, think\, and do what their conditioned mind determines that they will feel\, think\, or do. \nThis is the dilemma we are working to escape through spiritual practice. In order to think and experience freely\, to live spontaneously\, and embody our authentic nature\, we need to be aware of the processes by which we are made to experience ourselves as separate from the natural unfolding of each moment. With awareness comes real choice\, including the profound choice to live beyond our assumptions and to look for ourselves to see who and what we actually are and what our lives truly call us to. \nOver the course of this weekend retreat we will explore the simple\, practical\, and powerful tools of awareness practice; how to use these tools to let go of conditioned mind and move into present moment awareness; and how to apply these tools to the particular circumstances of our everyday lives. \nThe structure of this retreat will be relaxed and spacious. The schedule will include periods of sitting and walking meditation\, workshop sessions\, individual guidance\, meals\, and plenty of time to rest\, enjoy the mountain forest around the property\, and just be. Outside of the workshop sessions and individual guidance this retreat will be conducted in silence. Practitioners with all levels of experience are welcome.

SUMMARY:Subpersonality Online Class
DESCRIPTION:Our next online class! This time we’ll focus on subpersonalities\, or aspects of the conditioned self. I’ll send out two assignments each week for four weeks that will assist us in exploring the subpersonalities that make up this entity we call “me”. We’ll learn how to recognize these identities\, how to disentangle ourselves\, and how to live in the place where we are aware of our subpersonalities but not identified with them. Should be fun and interesting! \nDuring these 4 weeks there will be a zoom meeting each Sunday from 11:00 am- 12:30 pm \nTo register\, make a donation of any size\, include a note that the donation is for the subpersonality class\, and go here to put yourself on the list: Click Here To Register

SUMMARY:Virtual meditation and discussion group
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \nEach Sunday and Thursday evening from 7:00 to 8:30 eastern we gather on Zoom (a video-conferencing platform) to support each other\, learn from each other\, and experience the joy of spiritual community. Group begins promptly at 7:00 with a thirty-minute meditation period\, followed by a facilitated conversation lasting an hour\, during which people may bring up whatever issues they choose in regards to their practice\, the things going on in their lives\, and so on. \nWe are not looking for any sort of commitment\, just a willingness to jump in whenever you’re able. If you express interest we will put you on an email list to receive invitations to the group sessions and announcements about the group. \nThe Sunday and Thursday evening groups are offered on a donation basis. \nFor more information\, or if you would like to participate\, email David at djmckay429@gmail.com. You will then receive the information you will need in order to log on. \nWe look forward to seeing you there!
