SUMMARY:BIC Special Guest: Dave Smith
DESCRIPTION:The Transformative Power of Retreats\nwith Dave Smith\nThursday\, July 2\n6:30-8 PM\nHybrid (teacher on Zoom)\nAs people living in the non-monastic madness of American life\, we have to retreat. \nSitting retreat is not a passive escape; it is a necessary\, disciplined effort to reclaim ourselves. By removing the constant stimulation of feeds and obligations\, we create the essential conditions to clearly examine why we are alive. This practice requires a supportive foundation of kindness and balance\, allowing us to face difficult internal patterns without becoming overwhelmed. Through this systematic training\, we develop the capacity to remain steady and clear-headed under pressure. It is practical skill-building meant directly for the challenges of the everyday world. Stepping away into a quiet\, natural environment allows the nervous system to settle and recover its natural balance. Ultimately\, we step back from the external noise so that we can honestly confront and embrace our lives as they are. A radical course in mind training 101.
