SUMMARY:Mahakala Radio Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Bodhisattvas are motivated by far-reaching prayers born of Wisdom.  With no obstacles clouding their mind\, they are free of fear and delusion.  What can the insight and prayers of Bodhisattvas teach us?  In this retreat we will practice methods that arouse the heart and dream-like ways out of the muddle. Please join us in the shelter of retreat in the refuge of Sangha united in purpose. Come put into practice the impossible prayers that Bodhisattvas know to be true.

SUMMARY:Practicing the Way in this Very Moment
DESCRIPTION:Dogen’s essay “Instructions for the Cook” helps us to explore the profound preciousness of our daily lives. How do we nourish ourselves and all beings in all the hubbub? How can we help others using our past conditioning and present situation? \n\n\n\nIn this retreat\, we well sit zazen\, engage in discussion\, meet with the teacher\, build community and eat together. Our practice is a time to be together. We welcome everyone into this community. \n\n\n\nOur retreat will be led by Onryu Kennedy\, and co-faciltated by Genjo Conway\, Rachel Seiren Vilsack\, Adam Isshin Kokotovich and Dan JunKan Mattimiro. \n\n\n\nQuestions we’ll invite each other to consider: \n\n\n\n\nWhat is the relatability of this text to our lived experience?\n\n\n\nHow do we embody the understanding of the Tenzo Kyokun in our lived experience with family\, friends\, community and the world?\n\n\n\nHow can we encounter everything and everyone in our lives with joy\, wisdom and compassion?
