Vulnerability and Surrender with Rodney Smith (Online)
START DATE:
TIME:
Zoom Link here (unless registration or email required – see description below)
Description
Join us for a weekend retreat with Seattle Insight’s founding teacher Rodney Smith, February 15-16, 9:00 AM – 4:30 PM. This retreat will be online only.
The spiritual path is the discovery of our intrinsic wholeness and complete stability that only appears when we have surrendered our internal defenses and stand open to the world. It is here, where we are fully exposed and vulnerable, that an awakened heart can move beyond its conditioning into a new paradigm of wonder. Join Rodney for a full exploration of the power and versatility of being vulnerable, its access point, and how to live within it without fear.
The retreat will include dharma talks, guided meditations and inquiries, quiet sittings, Qigong with Ellen, and Q & A, as time permits.
