Awareness. Emptiness. Radiance.
Applications are now being accepted for Spirit Rock’s next Advanced Practitioner Program (APP2) and — surprise, surprise — I’ve applied!
The APP is a year-long study-and-practice program for experienced students (those who have completed either the Dedicated Practitioner Program or the Community Dharma Leader program). The structure is a lot like DPP and CDL, with monthly homework, small-group meetings, one-on-one mentoring, and three related retreats:
- Nature of Awareness, April 15 – 23, 2019 (8 nights), at Spirit Rock with Phillip Moffit, Guy Armstrong, Susie Harrington, JoAnna (Harper) Hardy, Brian Lesage with Dawn Scott assisting.
- Emptiness and Liberation, November 12 – 20, 2019 (8 nights), at Spirit Rock with Gil Fronsdal, Susie Harrington, JoAnna Hardy, Brian Lesage with Dawn Scott assisting.
- Radiant Mind, Peaceful Heart, April 2 – 10, 2020 (8 nights), at Spirit Rock with Venerable Bhikkhu Analayo, Guy Armstrong, Susie Harrington, JoAnna Hardy, Brian Lesage with Dawn Scott assisting.
“The Buddha said that he teaches just suffering and the end of suffering. These retreats will focus on the ending of suffering — Nibbana — and the practices and insights that lead to this ending.” (click here to read more)
Sounds pretty enlightening to me!!!
