This three day retreat, led by Florence Caplow and Sue Moon, will be based on stories/koans from The Hidden Lamp: Stories from Twenty-five Centuries of Awakened Women. This is a unique opportunity to spend time with the two co-editors of this significant book, encountering wise women of the past through their stories and teachings. The focus will be on koans about the natural world and about courage for these challenging times.

Each day we will spend time in silence, dialogue, writing, and meditation practice, and we will also have contemplative and playful time outside, weather permitting, experiencing the summer beauties of the garden, organic farm fields, and environs of Green Gulch.

This retreat is open to people of any gender and is trans and non-binary inclusive. No meditation experience is necessary to participate fully, and outdoor activities will be designed to be accessible. Please contact GGF for more information on accessibility.
