The Buddha taught that true happiness cannot be found though the acquiring of objects or experiences, but is already here as the ever-present ground of your own ordinary experience. When we stop seeking peace and satisfaction where it cannot be found, in accumulating and becoming, we naturally begin to recognize and relax into what we truly are, the ever-present beingness in which and out of which all experience arises. This beingness, is itself the heart of awakening, it is that in all of us that is already awake. Being awake it needs no awakening, only recognition, familiarization, and commitment.

In this daylong we will alternate periods of sitting and walking meditation, offer guided instructions, and structured teachings that point back again and again to this natural wakefulness.

Young Adults (18 - 26) are invited to attend this day for $25.
