August 28 and 29, 2010

The Richmond Meditative Inquiry Group will bring Sandra Gonzalez, a teacher from Springwater Center, to Ekoji to lead a weekend of meditation and dialogue on Saturday-Sunday August 28-29. The weekend events are open to all. Sandra will offer talks and lead periods of sitting and walking meditation and group dialogue. She will also offer private meetings to those wishing to discuss their meditation practice. Sandra has worked with Toni Packer for over 20 years and has led retreats since 2001. She teaches by inviting "curiosity or deep interest, an interest for the sake of clarity, for the love of beauty and harmony, for a life that makes sense, and for understanding our crazy wild life: feelings of anger, judgment, isolation, sadness and confusion. Discovering motives and appetites that get in the way of listening to ourselves, to others or to whatever is happening right now." Articles and audio talks by Sandra can be found here.
