Join the Consciousness Explorers Club for a four hour virtual meditation retreat with Shinzen Young, the founder of Unified Mindfulness and CEC’s much-loved mentor. In this experiential workshop, Shinzen will clarify the mechanism whereby being okay in the sensory moment, i.e., the experiential now, is related to having a positive impact on the current moment of history as it’s playing out in the world, particularly with regards to concerns around immature rhetoric in political, economic, and social discourse. The clarification will come through a combination of discussion and guided sessions.
Shinzen‘s teachings reveal a gift for insight through unexpected analogies, illustrations, and humour, and he merges scientific clarity with a rare grasp of source-language teachings, East and West. Don’t miss this opportunity to sit and dialogue with a well-respected mindfulness authority.
This online half-day retreat is being offered on a “pay what you’re able to” model, with a wide sliding scale to accomodate all income ranges. This is a fundraiser for both the CEC and Shinzen’s Community for Mindful Living – funds will go toward helping both organizations expand programming and extend the benefits of practice to more people.The CEC is a registered not-for-profit with the mission of making meditation and personal growth practices fun and accessible to all.
Zoom link for the workshop will be provided upon registration. An audio recording of the session will be shared with registered participants after the event, for those unable to attend the live retreat.
