Description

The Naturally Arising Clarity Practice Method offers a highly practical approach to finding freedom and meaning in life as well as supporting greater access to the mysterious dimensions of consciousness. The primary teaching method is guided meditations in which one starts with the felt sense and direct knowing rather than concepts. The practice method is a cohesive collection of Insight meditative practices including the Arriving Sequence, the Twelve Insights of the Four Noble Truths, and the Nine Bodies Insight practice.

​

This half-day retreat will focus on the foundational meditative skills that are employed throughout the variety of Insight practices in this practice method. Specifically, this class series will explore:

​

• Arriving Sequence — a preliminary practice, done before turning towards objects, which establishes the mind-heart through the steps of Arriving, Available, and Aligning
• Grounding with the Earth Element in the Physical Body
• Opening to different facets of direct experience including the felt sense of aliveness and spaciousness

​

This half-day retreat will include orienting talks, guided meditations, and sharing and response in groups.
