Meditation and Creativity

Meditation and Creativity
Practices that Refresh and Free the Mind

a special retreat
in Carmel, CA
with John Tarrant

August 15/16

John Tarrant

This retreat looks at meditation as a creative act. The idea of practice is a way to put a new possibility in your life on an every day basis. This is both healing and refreshing. A spiritual practice anchors us in the greater current and meaning of life; it also allows us to approach life as we would a work of art, something that doesn't have to make sense to be beautiful. Creative leaps are often very small shifts that have large effects because a spiritual practice allows us to notice them. In this retreat a new approach to Zen koans encourages us to fall into the beauty that we meet every day. No previous experience with koans is necessary to attend.
