In this course we will be opening to the wisdom of nature, whether that nature is found in wilderness, in the city, or within our own homes and hearts.  Our first step will be re-enchanting our relationship with the refuges of Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha. We will discover how refuge can be found both within and all around. The second step will be to explore the ways nature is continually revealing the wisdom of the Dharma.  The third step will bring these pieces together in gaining an understanding of how re-enchantment with the Refuges can open us to our sense of belonging, and how this fits with the depth of the Buddha’s teachings.

The retreat will include periods of practice, chanting, dharma reflections, and connecting with nature. Due to the nature of this retreat, we will not be recording sessions for later viewing. All are welcome!
