SUMMARY:OPEN MIND RETREAT: CLOSED – The Fleeting Kiss of Beautiful Things with John Tarrant & Tess Beasley
DESCRIPTION:  \n\nThe Fleeting Kiss of Beautiful Things\nwith John Tarrant & Tess Beasley\nMarch 16–19\, 2023\nThursday Eve through Sunday Noon\nCommonweal Center\, Bolinas CA\nIN PERSON \nSpring returns with green shoots\, gestures\, embraces\, optimism\, plans\, and most of all\, desire. These simple things make us human. There is beauty in incompleteness and imperfection and the not-yet-achieved—inside the longing of becoming. We strive to understand our lives and often disapprove of ourselves\, thinking that will help. Spring arrives with its blossoms and rain. It has few opinions. \nDreams also appear without our efforts or interference\, the Dao moves and carries us\, love does too. Inside our own skin\, spring steps forward before thought\, before words\, before knowing. \nJoin us for an exploration of the great way of Zen—koans\, stories\, meditation and dreams. We’re looking forward to it\, and there are limited numbers\, so sign up early.\n \n—John Tarrant \n\nJohn Tarrant Roshi taught Zen in a traditional Japanese manner for about 15 years and then developed new ways to teach people who had no previous experience of Zen koans or even of meditation. \nJohn has a Ph.D. in psychology and is the author of Bring Me The Rhinoceros & Other Zen Koans That Will Save Your Life\, and The Light Inside the Dark: Zen\, Soul\, & the Spiritual Life. He directs Pacific Zen Institute. He has a special interest in leadership and in creativity. \nTess Beasley Sensei is a koan Zen teacher based in New York\, and also serves as Pacific Zen Institute’s Board President. \nShe is currently completing her Ph.D. in Jungian and Archetypal Psychology and is particularly interested in the ways Zen and depth psychology complement each other to kindle creativity and transformation. \n\nAbout PZI Open Mind Retreats \nPacific Zen Institute’s Open Mind retreats come out of our impulse to make a Zen meditation retreat that is native to American culture. When we take away the barriers to understanding\, things just naturally shine. \nThis is a residential retreat held in a beautiful place on the ocean with a simple feel\, and wonderful food. \nThere will be sitting together\, koans\, teaching\, walking on the beach\, poetry\, conversation\, writing and time to find out what our lives might be like without our usual stories. We will do exercises that help our attention to deepen. We will make discoveries and our lives will open. \nThis is a retreat that people find has a powerful effect on their lives and their understanding\, both of the practice of the inner life and of the world of work and personal interaction. It has the deep strength of an intensive meditation retreat inside a form that works for people with all different levels of meditation experience. It has a flexible schedule that makes it work well for those who would like to bring a partner or a friend. \nNo particular background in spiritual practice is required. \nBring a notebook. Also\, if you want to paint or draw or play an instrument you can bring your gear. \n\nCost:\nMembers Shared Room (double): $825\nNon-members Shared Room (double): $875 \nMembers Single Room: $1025\nNon-members Single Room: $1075 \nLocation:\nCommonweal Center\, 451 Mesa Rd\, Bolinas\, CA 94924 \nDates and Times:\nBegins Thursday\, March 16th\, at 5:30 p.m. (Pacific Time)\nEnds Sunday\, March 19th at 12:00 p.m. \nOur registrar is Eleanor Silberman at eleanor@pacificzen.com \n\nIn Bolinas\, the grey whales are migrating north with the calves close in\, pelicans fly by like royalty\, osprey carry fish and hermit thrushes pass through. Foxes are stealing shoes\, small badgers are peeping out of holes\, the ocean is breaking on Duxbury reef\, and the great forces carry us too\, as we had hoped. \nIn the field of meditation we welcome a spring that is larger than our difficulties or fears. There is a joy and renewal. We don’t have to get back into life. We are there already.  —John Tarrant
