Ringing the BELL ~ A RETREAT IN NYC

RINGING THE BELL ~ A MEDITATION RETREAT IN NYC
THE SUMMER SOLSTICE

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

We will gather each year in NYC. This is a 24-hour meditation retreat. A time for instruction in the art of meditation. A time for conversation in the deep currents of our longing. Ringing the Bell: For Prayer. For Shelter. For Magic & Mystery. For the Muse. For Lineage. For Love and the Gift of Life.

Consciousness is seeded through the ages in the hearts of mystics and through traditions of art, medicine and science. This ancient tradition of Love has tended this seeding for thousands of years. Through the Songs of Creation and the teachings of this tradition, we work in the personal unconscious as well as in the collective myths and complexes that have captured us. We work at a critical point in time where consciousness pivots in the deep currents of the divine feminine. Light given, first to purify, then free, and then nourish the Muse, the Creative Imagination. We are given the seeds of new stories.

Central to our work is the dissembling of deep structures of violence in the psyche of individuals and our civilization. To undo the curses of racism, misogyny and prejudice that arise from a world view of white male supremacy, which is currently at the helm of global ecocide.

Meditation. Prayer. The Muse. How to respond to the crisis of meaning in our time? We call these together at the core of each person. As an artist can give herself entirely to the blank page, as a physician can give himself entirely to the precision required to reach the cure and as the ancient scribe vanishes into the mystery of Love, we live a passion and devotion to what lies behind life, what calls from the hidden depths.

One pearl to the next, around and around, prayer in our heart and hand that we are purified, our passions cleansed of self-interest and fear and our hearts laid upon Your soil.

Be with those who mix with God
as honey blends with milk, and say,
"Anything that comes and goes,
rises and sets, is not what I love."
else you'll be like a caravan fire left
to flare itself out alone beside the road. Rumi
