Seven-Night Silent Retreat with Dorothy Hunt May 13 - 20, 2017 Vajrapani Institute, Boulder Creek, California An Invitation to Retreat Be the Silence of the redwoods, the breeze that passes gently through their leaves. Be still. Listen. You are the song of a bird, the humming of insects, sounds echoing through the mountain and an open mind. Feel the deep embrace of your true Heart, welcoming life, and loving every speck of you. Unlimited and vast, spacious as the sky, more intimate than a breath, You are here in this moment as whatever appears. You are the sun, warming your body, inviting lizards out for push-ups, dancing as bees and butterflies tasting the sweet nectar of yellow blossoms. You are this world of form and That which notices each expression of your Self— an unknown Mystery that knows Itself. Awareness awakens Itself in each moment. Here on Retreat, unhook, unwind, and rest in the timeless Presence that is your Freedom, your Peace, and your true Self. © Dorothy Hunt Vajrapani Institute Retreat Center is situated on 70 acres of beautiful redwood forest in the Santa Cruz Mountains.
