Sharon's retreats are a "living body of transmission". In this retreat, Unfolding as the No-Self, the emphasis will be on the qualities of ferociousness and discernment. According to Sharon, ferociousness is necessary to avoid being lulled into a false sense of abiding. Discernment is a fluid but stable grounding from which arises the ability to make choices in alignment with no-self, regardless of appearances. The focus for this retreat moves away from solving problems or dealing with what comes up, and moves into the experience of the unfolding of the no-self as a continuum.
This is a silent retreat with Satsang talks, guided meditation, art and music sharing, and question & answer sessions.
Retreat participants agree to maintain silence during the retreat except during group sharing at Satsang. Meals and on-your-own time are carried out in silence.
What is the Commuter Option?
You can attend retreat by securing your own accommodations nearby. It's up to you what to book, AirBnb, hotel, friend's residence, is entirely up to you. It is recommended to stay nearby so that your commute to the retreat center is minimal either by car or walking distance. Your meals are included.
What is the Camping Option?
For those who might choose, you have the option of camping on the retreat land. You can tent-camp or camp in a small van or your car, but no RVs. Choose this option if you are okay with the rugged high desert terrain for camping. You'll have access to the retreat center facilities and your meals will be included.
