Studying the dharma is good. Practicing the dharma is essential. Embodying the Dharma is profound. Two obstacles hamper most forms of modern practice: they use mental frameworks to address habits, patterns, and behaviors that are deeply held in the body, and the information is accessed in an environment (on the cushion), unlike the situations we encounter.
As a result, we often find it difficult to translate our best intentions into our lives. This intensive invites brave conversation and experiential exercises that help us embody the profound power of the dharma through our very Presence. Get thoughts, feelings, and actions in alignment. Navigate appropriate inner and outer relationship balance. Relax into space and recover your center over and over again.
To include this 1-day intensive with your Wisdom Rising registration click the appropriate registration link further down the page. The retreat will begin with a talk by Rev. angel Kyodo Williams on August 16th at 7:30 pm and continue through the 17th until dinner. Wisdom Rising will then begin on the evening of the 17th at 7:30 pm with the first keynote talk.

“… why do we practice? Well we practice to be able to withstand the truth of that. That there is no answer. There is no book. There is no script. If you get to the Jedi mountain, & they burned all the books, what will you do then?”
Rev5 💫 a strength to love justice+civil war

Rev5 💫 wrapping up BIG
the past month was full of transitions that were, for me — ever the introvert that happens to speak publicly — unspeakable thus far. still, I’m grateful for every person who takes the time to read these words, scan the stories, and hopefully benefit from a share or two of what moves me. I’m grateful for a platform to say directly, simply: thank you.
