Online: The Dharma of Deep Time

with Deborah Eden Tull

Sunday, September 13th, 2020 from 3:00pm - 6:00pm, ET

The myth of "not enough time" is one of the most pervasive stories of today’s world, but in this age of global uncertainty, we have a rare opportunity to improve our relationship with time. This online retreat is inspired by the Zen teaching of Uji or “being time.” Resting in present moment awareness, we reconnect with “all time being” and “all being’s time.” We will also apply our practice to the systemic distortions that influence our relationship with time, including domination over nature, patriarchy, colonialism, and capitalism. Join us for a restorative, experiential online retreat.
