Trying to remember what my insides felt like in the moment I decided to take this photo several weeks ago…

The space and ease and quiet and the certainty that all of those felt experiences were as close to the Truth as I could be…

And that I knew it would become a faint memory (not the content of the moment but the inner state)… one that I would so desperately want and yet so half-heartedly attempt to return to. 

Knowing that it’s right here, always. Or, as my mind would like for me to believe, never.

When you know that pain is inevitable and that suffering is optional, it can make you believe that it’s as simple as choosing not to suffer. But that entirely misses the mark. 

It’s impossible to choose differently when you are operating in unconscious habit. There is NO choice in unconsciousness.

But truly and deeply and viscerally remembering the internal space, ease, the still-aliveness, can be the entry point of the returning. It is the recognition of the felt state of Consciousness. And that IS the opening.

Returning again and again to what you know is true, not what you think is true.

Half-Day Silent Meditation Retreat

February 12, 2022

9am-12:30pm

Richmond, VA

Nothing has supported me in my life more than the direct teachings & guidance of my teacher.

Nothing has shown me more about myself and no one has quite ever cut through my egoic material like she has.

I would not be where I sit today without learning to sit with myself.

Over the past decade, I have worked with her 1:1, sat for hundreds of hours of weekly meditations, and accumulated weeks of silent meditation retreats.

And now, only now, am I ready to offer this to you...

Though I always incorporated silence + meditation into my annual retreat, I will now begin to offer silent meditation retreats. It is an honor and a privilege.

My next offering will be a Half-Day Silent Retreat:

Saturday, February 12, 2022, 9am-12:30pm

Richmond VA

Sliding scale donations: $40-$125
