CEC Virtual Summer Retreat - Meditate! Celebrate! Activate!

Join the Consciousness Explorers Club teaching team as we bask in the summertime spirit at this virtual version of our annual Meditate! Celebrate! Activate! summer retreat.

The joke is: we’re done retreating, this is an advance! Yes, we still meditate a fair bit in silence, we don’t mess with that tried-and-true formula. But we’re also interested in the lived application of our meditative insights, in how to act on the freedom that emerges from practice. So we explore self- consciousness too, we explore movement and dance, we explore the weird and terrifying psychic territory of other actual human beings .
