Body as Mountain, Mind as Sky 
Exploring our True Nature in Nature
A 5-Night Silent Retreat over Labor Day Weekend
  with Jon Aaron and Johann Robbins 

These frequently quoted phrases by the 13th Century Zen master Dogen evoke a feeling of embodied freedom and will form the basis for this retreat.  So often we live as though we are separate from nature when in fact, we are nature. Most of this retreat will be outside- sitting, walking and just being in the surrounding beauty.   The exquisite natural beauty of the RMEDC will provide all the support needed live into Dogen’s words.
