Natural Bravery: Week four of Gaylon Ferguson's retreat begins today!
The final week of Gaylon Ferguson's Tricycle Retreat, "Natural Bravery," begins today. Throughout the month of September, we've been learning how to work with fear and fearlessness. Week one explored mindfulness of the body, and working with the fear of being with oneself. During the second week we looked at the fear of change, and we used the breath as a way to become familiar and comfortable with the uncertainty of life. Week three we looked at fear itself, and the meditation was to learn how to touch it and be there with it. This week, in "Entering into Creative Action," we will explore two more fears: the fear of open space and the fear of manifesting or being brave in action. More » -

Natural Bravery: Week 2 of Gaylon Ferguson's Tricycle Retreat
Week two of Gaylon Ferguson's Tricycle Retreat, "Natural Bravery," comes to a close today. If you've missed the first two weeks, it's not too late to join while Ferguson is still responding to all participants. Week 3 starts on Monday. One student writes: Love this series. It is very basic and one of the toughest instructions to take on as a practitioner. The basic compassion of engaging others is essential, and he is so kind in his vocalizations about things. Very peaceful to listen and try to understand this process through his words. Fear is a barrier to change, which is essential to peace and compassion. I wish I could bow with people more without them thinking oddly of me! Ferguson responds: More » -
